Wheels are OEM Staggered Style 68 painted flat black.

Wheels $50, Paint $21. Yes, $71 for new wheels with tires. I am a good shopper :)

So far I added cross drilled/slotted rotors and new pads to the rear
Black front Grills
Black/White Roundels

Next is
Powerflex front control arm bushings
Rouge Rear shock mounts
Install front brakes
Swap interior trim from wood to silver
Silver/black chift knob to match
Benfer CF strut bar (Hoping, Thanks Kevin :)
Dinan Exhaust

Enjoy

you are a good shopper for that price!!

while you're at it.. just paint your wood trim and you'll have a custom color trim. use a nice clearcoat and then wet sand and polish it... it'll look better than anything you can buy from BMW.

I knew you couldn't just leave it alone Bryan. Looks good

[bugzy]

You were so right....

I plan on using a bit of this tape, like used in this DIY http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=88778&page=5

Or maybe the paint.

Skip the Dinan exhaust, get something else of higher quality for less money

white on black is the sex. nice job!

[RollinInGreenz]

I'd say get rid of the blue-ish tint in favor of a nice smoke or silver...but not too dark or you'll wind up looking like a storm trooper with a ghetto booty.

[ReNNeN.CaRL]

looks good. either look was fine, just a bit more aggressive with this look :tup:

[huitzi]

looks really nice!!

[iflyM3]

The black wheels definitely give it that more agressive appearance, i like it!!!
I'd go with a custom carbon fiber interior, even though it's played out... then again, so is the whole two-tone pitch too. hmmm.... super low budget would consist of keeping it stock... ;) or using cheap parts off of ebay...

it looks really nice. I like the black wheels.

Looks good Bryan. I have been thinking about putting black wheel on my car too.

I'll be joining the herd once I save the coin for the ultrafly custom powdercoat job on my R-10's

[iflyM3]

yeah, getting custom powder coating can be a lil' expensive, try finding MVR's in 18"... they don't exist. MVR's like the one's on my car, only came in 19"s. I had to find somebody that could custom make them for me and then i wanted them custom powder coated in gloss black. i could have got some really nice 3 piece wheels but then it wouldn't be as unique. overall, i really love the results. I love black wheels in general, i think it really brings out an agressive appearance, more so than "chrome" plated wheels at least. Anthracite or gun-metal looks nice too.

[addicted2thevr6]

way better look, awesome

[ghost b5.5]

very cool:tup:

what kind of paint did you use?

[Carlos]

looks good.

[corndogface]

yeah what kind of paint was that?

[OnTheGreen]

Been out of town in PV..

Paint is Duplicolor Flat Black.

Now Autozone used to carry it. They no longer due. The only place I can find that color in stock if Pep Boys. But call ahead. I bought it all :)

Thanks

[BanamexDF]

Looks sick dude. $50, that's crazy!!!

I remeber seeing you a while ago on the 163 right where the 163 merges with the 15. The car looks great on coils. :tup:
