*NEW POLL* Black vs. Silver Rims BMW 535 (see pic)

Sorry to repost basically the same poll, but the decision was only whether or not to powder coat the stock rims black, not buy different black rims. With that said, would you powder coat these rims black?

No - Powder coating stock wheels is tacky at best.

Those aren't the nicest BMW wheels and they only look worse powder coated.

Sorry, I'm on Tapatalk and can't vote so I'm giving you my opinion (many BMWs and many many cars and many many mistakes messing around with wheels)

I agree with this, go for some nicer looking wheels or just keep it completely stock.

Keep those rims for winter use, If your going to black rims then you need to change all the chrome to black.

As I have said before, I hate this black out trend of wheels and accessories. Those are not the nicest of rims to start off with, so black would make the car look cheap. Silver wheels for me every time.
