I figure after putting her through hell, I'm gonna have to give her some royal treatment and a spa day.
Was also thinking about getting her wheels powder coated black potentially. Any other suggestions? Pic for attention:

I'm sure we all have our moments, and this one just happened to be mine... and boy was it a doozy.

You know, Madpistol, just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this...

My suggestion would be to not get the wheels powder coated black. I love those wheels as they are. Just the right amount of silver to create contrast and visual interest. I mean it's your car so ultimately do whatever makes you happy but if your serious about it, I'd consider plasti-dipping them first before you fully commit.

Do NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES make your wheels black!!!!! A big black hole on each corner of your car. Not attractive. The wheels you have are great and the two tones provide dimension and contrast!

My base 18" V-spoke bi-color orbit grey wheels, style 780 is also 2 tones, which do enhance the look of my Alpine White 330i a lot. Thank you BMW for fitting 2-tone orbit grey on a US-spec base 330i. |

I like the 780s a lot. When I bought the M340i I had for a short time I also found and bought a set of 780s to use as my winter wheels.

Don't you guys in the US have a configurable tint from the factory?
btw I saw in some of the G20/G26 subforums around here a pic of those rims in black and they didn't look that half-bad. I generally agree it's not an ideal solution but if there's a car color that makes it passable - it must be the Brooklyn Grey. Last edited by blue_seather; 01-24-2024 at 03:22 AM.. |

IDK but this could be an epic troll job, the “other” thread was taking shots at BMW owners and how the IS500 dropped panties at the Cars and Coffee unlike any other car there.
Now the IS500 was crap on wheels a few days later…… |

I knew that trade just didn't make sense. Glad you were able to get back in the same car!
If you had to change the wheel color, I think bronze would look great on that. |

I am a bit confused TBH
In your other thread you said that you "sold" your CG and bought a Lexus. (or did you actually trade it in?) So did you go get your car back from whoever you sold it to and then went to Lexus dealer after driving brand new car for couple of days and say, I don't like this and here are the keys back??? I think the only party that would end up happy in such transaction would be you which is what probably matters in the end.

I would think each end of this trade back maneuver is easily $5k each, for $10k total cost.😅
