I have a Titanium Grey '04 M3 sedan and I was thinking about doing a powdercoat on my OEM rims. What powdercoat colour do you guys think should I get?

I think a gloss black would look really nice.

i think a gun metal but with a bit of bronze in it would look good

I dunno man... with a dark car, I find the brighter wheels look better. Frankly, I'd stick with the stock silver. :) The bronze might really look hot as well though.

I have to agree with Wild Weasel here. My personal preference is to keep the wheel colour as is.

I like lighter wheels on darker cars too. Keep them stock silver :)

On lighter cars... I like darker wheels.

I like the stock silver on my car but thinking of powder coating my rims too. I think black would look sexy on copper red.

not too much gloss, a satin colour...a dark gun metal...not quite to the point of black, but a few shades darker than your titanium gray.

this is what Gun Metal (non-glossy) will look like on Ti-Grey

I've never liked flat colours on wheels. Other than the flat black that comes on some expensive racing wheels, I always find it looks like they just couldn't be bothered to clear coat them or something.

its not really flat, just not glossy or less shine....satin finish can still have a protective clear coat over it...

I'd go for darker colour on Ti-Grey.
