curbed my Aspecs. Help me pick a new color
Just curbed my rims pretty good and probably won't be able to stand to leave them that way for long. Probably gonna have a DIY project on my hands this weekend.
Just trying to decide on a color. I was thinking either gunmetal or black. I have a black roof overlay that I want to put on so I was thinking that black wheels would match nicely.
Here is a pic of my car. Let me know what you think, and if you have any pics of black or aftermarket gunmetal painted Aspecs that would be cool too.

can anybody recommend what brand of paint to use? I tried going on the Duplicolor site but they have so many different kinds of paint, and I don't know which type is appropriate for wheels.

I figured this is as good of a place to ask as any...where is the best place to find a set of A-Specs? I've been keeping my eye on the forums here, as well as on ebay.

check on the black market and ebay. If you want a NEW set cheap, check out wheelsandcaps.com. Tons of BMW folks buy Factory wheels from there for a good price. I believe all 18's and 19's are on sale for 899 shipped.

You should consider powder coating the wheels. I had my A-spec rims powder coated gloss black on my NHBP 3G TL & they came out great. They will hold up much better than painting the rims & will resist chemical rim cleaners & tire dressing.

Gunmetal FTW. The black A-Specs were well done but they don't give enough contrast between the wheel and tire.
