    What color should I paint my wheels (Sportecs)?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a set of Anthrazit Sportecs, but I want to go a little darker. I love the Diamond Black Finish of the BBS RGRs but they dont have a paint code because its a "special finish" the BBS Rep told me. They first paint them black, then put a silver coat to give it that beautiful finish. Here is a picture of my car. Any suggestions on color(s)?

    damn, your car is sweet... Sportec Mono 10s are one of the best looking wheels for the b7. Great choice!

    How about matte black?

    What's Gzo? Give the wheels to me (j/k). I think they would look hot in a black finish. Let me know where you bring them to get painted because I have a set of wheels I want to paint as well.

    Gloss black if you HAVE to paint them...that would make them the same color as your grille surround?

    Can any of you guys above PS the wheels in this color:


    Or maybe a gunmetal type color, a bit darker than the originals.

    Re: What color should I paint my wheels (Sportecs)?

    I'd keep them as they are but if you're set on the BBS diamond black finish, most wheel refinishing shops can do that. I've had a set done in that finish before (they called it "hyper black") and they came out fantastic...exactly like the BBSs. Not cheap though.

    I will ask the local shop. They quoted me $150/wheel, but that's just one coat/color.

    I got a "deal" at $850 for the set when they regularly charge $1k at a shop local to me. Pretty expensive and in retrospect, I can't say it was worth it. I wouldn't do it again but then again, I go through cars faster than underwear so I have to watch how much $$$ I sink in mods.

    I agree that if you are going to a paint them (car looks amazing as is) then I think gloss black will look best up against the white.
