I've been waiting since to see more photos in different levels of light...I also have a silver grey coupe and have been looking for a unique and darker color option for wheels and would love to see more pics!

Try what this guy did, and if you don't like it just peel it off.

Basically, he used Plasti-Dip as the base coat and then sprayed real paint and clear on top of the Plast-Dip. It is not permanant, and can be peeled off without damage or residue.

bringing back an old thread, but I was looking at this and I was wondering if painting the wheels like this would cause any issues with the wheel balance. I would love to try this on my OEM wheels and maybe on a set of CSLs in the future to change them to gold temporarily. Anyone have insight on if adding that much paint would throw off the balance of the wheels?
