Just had to buy a new set of wheels for my DD last week because a pothole irreparably bent my (no-longer available) OZs.

My photoshop skill sucks, but this is what I'm thinking if I'm going to powder coat my 467m for winter to give a two tone look. What do you guys think?

Makes them look too skinny and smaller still IMO. Keep 'em stock for the winter and pray for an early spring.

it'll always look small, but at least it won't look as bland (which is the thing that I don't like about the 467m), or I can simply make it all black.

I would suggest all black or leave them silver. The two two tone color makes them look like aftermarket wheels (AC schintzer) . The stock wheels look small but these are going to look even smaller.

You have to call the 800 number and confirm if or when the X5 will be handed to the trucking company by then it took me about 2 days for delivery to New Jersey.
I suspect similar at your location give or take 1 day. Congrats! I know that feeling

Mine was in that status for a little over a day then I got the call from Eugene. He sent me a text with a pic when it arrived...
Congrats. Also, you're gonna get a tin of chocolate chip cookies in the mail from Elmhurst. Don't you dare throw them away... They're a gift from God. |

Thanks man! Eugene just emailed me saying my X5 will be there on Friday!
Now I'll need to figure out a time to drop off the MPPK and MPE, and man, my wheels are not here yet |

lol.
Can't wait to the see the wheels mounted. Did you go with 22"s or 23"s? I've only see those wheels in 23" size. Better order a good wheel brush cause you are going to need it lol Alan

But will it affect the finish of the wheel itself? let's say if it is satin or matt finish, will it make the wheel gloss? Last edited by hamh; 09-21-2015 at 04:32 PM.. |

I could Plasti Dip something for you and then apply the sealant and see if it becomes shiny. Edit: sealant system I used is called DuraGloss, not Endura Gloss. http://www.formymercedes.com/Duraglo...l_Products.asp Autogeek sells it as well. Very easy to work with/apply. Will see how well it holds up over the winter.

I noticed and am very happy with significantly reduced brake dust on the F15 versus E70.
