Powder coating 21 inch 612's what color?

Hey guys going to get my 612's powder coated here shortly for winter wheels but struggling to either go with the usual one form or another of a black... Or any suggestions? Was pondering some form of bronze on Donnington X6M. Thoughts?

I love the 612s in black so that would get my vote, but bronze on Donnington is intriguing. I think stock wheels in bronze might be odd for some reason though.

I feel you that's kinda why I'm reaching here... black has always been my go to but something new is intriguing and I'm not a photoshopper so.

Hey man stay tuned to my thread I am currently awaiting Crystal Coffee BC Forged wheels for my Donnington Grey X5M. Also, maybe this will help but currently I’m running triple bronze metallic on my Variant wheels on my Space Grey E90 M3 car. I love the contrast! I get it’s not the same car, but it may help you get an idea.

If it were me gloss black and stock wheels look great. Anything too extreme for some reason it makes the OEM wheels look cheaper than it is. Def see you around Chicago area haha

You may have already seen this, but I'm not going to lie, this looks pretty darn good for OEM wheels....

Thanks Man! Much appreciated but I don't think I can imagine style 612 in that color vs black... may have to take the safe route on this one.

Look into real Black Chrome. It's just a look that I've always liked.
My stock wheels are gloss black but I think I'm going to do them like this.

Black chrome is very nice! However scratches really really easy in my past experiences. Probably would require some ceramic coating also...

My vote is with VETTEPRO. I feel as though ceramic coating on wheels is the price of entry. Ceramic coated wheels with Z23 ceramic pads are a winning combination.

For a donny gray X5M though, if you want to powder coat I would go black for sure.
