Photshop Request : CSL wheels powder coated blk w/ polished lip

dArNeLLi · 12-30-2006, 03:25 AM

hey, well the wheel shop has offered to repaint all four of my rims, and the idea was tossed out to get them painted black w/ a polished lip? too ricey? takes away from the csl look? well, if someone could please photoshop this for me, it would be great, i couldn't find anything on a search, so maybe the first? thanks in advance

I love those CSLs. I am so close to ordering some

I dont know that I would touch them.

Did you use your old center caps on them? Or did you have to order new ones?

dArNeLLi · 12-30-2006, 02:47 PM

used the same center caps, bump?

ehhhwik · 12-30-2006, 04:04 PM

i would keep them the way they are, they look so classically BMW, i think you should lower your car a little bit, that might enhance the look better!

What offsets are you using in the rear and tire size?

dArNeLLi · 12-30-2006, 07:58 PM

45 in the rear, 265/30/19 in the back

yea it does have the classic bmw look, but out of curiousity i'd like to see it

anyone help out?

scm6079 · 12-31-2006, 01:01 AM

I love the look:

I think that looks great. I may consider that myself.... Hmm...

dArNeLLi · 12-31-2006, 05:41 AM

paintshop edit of the orange reflector w/ comparison to the first pic

Joop! · 12-31-2006, 07:27 AM

Go for the silver finish and have the orange reflector removed/painted

I agree the original finish looks best, you might be able to get clear reflectors for your fenders on Ebay.

Alpine · 01-01-2007, 03:17 PM

funny.. I normally hate black rims with a chrome lip, but for some reason, I really like this look.

T I T A N · 01-25-2007, 12:22 PM

so what happen did you ever do it or you left them sliver?

Don Nguyen · 01-25-2007, 02:35 PM

that polish lip idea reminds me of how porsche do their wheels, since their wheels have a small lip design similar to the CSL wheels. I personally would probably go all black.

you guys also shouldn't throw around the word ricey so freely, that only pertains to cars that have mods that are done half assed. And if you get that wheel done at a legit wheel shop, and not from some kid down the street, that would make it the furthest from being "rice"

dArNeLLi · 01-26-2007, 12:20 AM

yea, turned out they didn't want to risk putting a paint job on for me and me not liking it, and then having to orde rme new wheels, so they just ordered me new wheels, putting them on tomorrow

e90335i · 01-27-2007, 07:08 PM

can someone phot shop these wheels all black on a black e90 thinking about getting them

wj4 · 01-27-2007, 07:11 PM

Keep them as is. The wheel practically has no lip so a polished 'lip' will look very cheap.

funky_chilli · 01-30-2007, 11:46 AM

glad u decided to keep them polished
CSL's look fantastic like that

daheechang · 01-30-2007, 12:55 PM

wow, that actually looks... great!

6SpeedMan · 01-30-2007, 06:19 PM

That really looks sick. Tint them windows mang!

shragon · 01-30-2007, 06:50 PM

was thinking it was going to look pretty bad, but it actually looks pretty good!

dArNeLLi · 02-01-2007, 12:19 AM

haha, i wish i had them painted, but oh well
