Include some close ups and flash. Some people take pictures of their black wheels in shadows and I can't see squat.

What is PVD black chrome? Is that a powder coat, paint or something else?

Thanks.

Wow, those look great! How do they do it? Where did you get this done? About how much does it cost? Am I asking enough questions?

Got them refinished through US WheelExchange. They did an awesome job!

Thanks for the compliments guys! Having the stock wheels back on with the Michelin Super Sports make the ride quality awesome.

The stock gunmetal look was fine, but these refinished black chrome really adds to the car, especially in Obsidian. Nice!

How does the Michelin ss tires ride? I also have a M3 and it comes with the pilot Ps2 and the way the tires absorb the road is like night and day compared to the Bridgestones. I am going to change my next set to michelins for sure, it's not even worth buying the bridgestones, the michelins ride so much better it's not even funny.

Also did you go with stock size or did you upgrade?

Looking at the close up pic of the front rim it's 225/40 so i assume he went with stock in the rear too...

Rims look nice in the sun... I really can't tell the difference when they are in the shade from the pics... They look good though nonetheless...
