Hi all,

What would you guys say to painting silver BBS LM rims to black? I will soon be acquiring a CF wing, and it would be nice to have the rims match. Would some of you consider it "ruining" the LM? Let me know your opinions, thanks!

 

How about some pictures of the car now? I could probably photoshop your wheels black

 

Car is in the shop, will get it back this week. Will take some high res pics later this week!

 

The combination of heat and tire changes and the paint will chip off in pieces over time. Better to just get them powdercoated.

 

IMO, if you don't like the silver, then go ahead and paint it . That way it will match your wing.
Let me know if you would like a few recommendations. Good luck.

 

Im thinking of doing the centers of mine black or anthracite aswell, here as some pics i found of different finnishes.

 

Take a look at this link for varying finishes on the lm.

I personally think the silver (and full polish) looks the best. If you do get them done in black, please do a high gloss powdercoat

i agree with the powder coating

 

I recently took some 590r's and wanted the black. I ended up going with powder coat and am so happy i went that direction as apposed to paint. They have a ton of dif shades and finishes.. Plus, it isn't expensive!
