I must be weird, but I'm not feeling it at all. I like the old wheels better.

I just about teared up. Seeing those pictures gave me the same feeling I get when I read about a truly nice deed somebody does for someone else. I dont know why. I guess I just feel blessed to get to see something of such beauty.

Nice choice on rims. Emblems look great as well.

I like the idea, Marcus. Personally, I hate having a super clean looking car, then having even a slight carbon buildup on the tips. Powder coating them, eliminates that issue. I say do it, but powder coat them the same color as your wheels and badges. Make it all the same.

Clayton, the wheels are graphite and the emblems and trim is gloss black. So you think the tips should be gloss black, flat black, satin black or graphite?
I was thinking a satin black like the pic. of the E55 tips above.

The tips would look hott Matte black. Let me know If you want them done. My powdercoater (not wheelmedic) will do them for like 20/$30 bucks. And he is good. I have to bring soe stuff there this week and pick up a set of wheels so let me know.

If that's the case, I would do the tips in satin/matte black.


Be cool if you did the wheels/emblems/tips all in graphite though. Don't think anyone has done that yet.

I must first Marcus. Your car is hotter than a 2 dollar ***** in church on Sunday giving the pastor brain surgery. LOL

As for the tips do them graphite and I would change the emblems to be the same. That would be very different from anything out there.
