Does anyone have pics of their 436M wheels painted black?

I got a CPO M240i recently with Ferric Grey 436M wheels. Unfortunately they have some imperfections that I'm trying to clean up best I can, but I plan to powdercoat them high gloss black eventually to make the finish perfect again.

Can't seem to find any photos of them painted black and installed on an F22 online. Does anyone have pics?

I Googled "black 436M wheels" & found these:







These are genuine BMW wheels in black from the 2addicts classified section below. Sparkly!

Appreciated! Unfortunately these aren't quite black though, they are orbit grey. Very dark but I can't quite seem to grasp how they will look installed.

The stock wheels aren't the best quality to begin with - check Apex they've got gloss black EC7 which is a higher quality, more durable and lighter option. They're running a sale now too.

Not sure what powder coating runs by you but for a little more you've got a better set of wheels - probably even money vs powder coating if you then sell your stock set.

Here APEX Forged for as low as $475. 18x8.5 and 235/40 with 5mm spacer up front. (can go bigger in back) way stronger. Email APEX folks here for exact set up for you

Have the dark gray stock ones, are ok, but scratch/chip easy, and no where near as strong as forged.

The orbit grey wheels look dark enough in this pic that I think I'd be happy getting the stock wheels painted for less than the cost of one forged replacement wheel. I personally don't mind the style of the stock wheels, but I do admit I prefer the LCI wheels over the pre-LCI
