I came across this pic when looking through E46. I think it looks ace. And was wondering what my type 3's would look like if the centres were black with a diamond cut outer edge. Can somebod photoshop my car for me pleeaase. I dont have PS.

Keep them stock

Like spinners, powdercoating is a fashionable thing and I personally think they've had their day

Just want something different, they can always go back to silver if they dont look right. I get them done fairly cheap, ie all 4 refurbed, diamond cut and coated for £100. :D

How about just painting the inside of the 5 double spokes, in body colour. Could look quite sick.

Personally think that the only way to go is silver wheels. In my opinion black or coloured wheels look lame! That's only my oppinion though!
Think white wheels look good on a dark blue cars but that's all!

Cheers for the link Durgesh, not gonna paint em black now. Either white or just diamond cut and polished. Can somebody do a white photoshop?

Thinking about it, yea the white type 3's would look large [jam
Might get someone to photoshop mine once I've uploaded the pic's.

White would nice against your velvet blue. My last car was blue with white rims.

na doesnt look right on that car. The mv2's aint the same black as the car. They wouldnt look 2 bad on my black car though but i prefer what they look like at the moment :D. I assume if u get the coated and the wheels are curbed you still seee the curbing?

oh my days come on. Compare those to same car with normal non coated rims and id say the stock ones looks waaaaaaaaaaaaay better! Hes got nothing gold to set them off. They would have probably looked the sh*t if was black instead of gold ;). Everyone has their preferences though [bang.
