Pic Request: Hamann HM4 Wheels on Estoril E36

[bigmansM]

I bought some used Hm4's and I need to decide on the color for the powdercoating. I was thinking of a sliverish color for the whole rim, nice and clean.

But, i would like to hear what you guys think? My mouldings are the factory black color, the grill is black, windows are limo tints, some black centers on the wheels may look nice. But, I'm kind of against black rims.

I was thinking the original look would be sweet:

My buddy said, do the rims in silver and do the bolts in black. Just to give it a little unqiueness

What do you think?

Also, I was thinking of powder coating the wheels. Is this better than painting them? My buddies say yes. Powder coating the wheels will run be about $200 for 4 wheels. What do you think about the price?

Powdercoat them it lasts better than paint, $200 is a fair price. Why don't you do silver center with gold bolts or gold center gold bolts? Will look killer on an estoril.

GOLD? Any examples of what it would look like?

I don't understand how you are going to bolt 4 bolt wheels on a 5 bolt hub...

He is right btw, gold looks pretty good with blue, the only problem is many will say its the "subaru color scheme"

Thats what I am going to do. I'm not really into that flashy stuff. I'm headed over to the powdercoater in an hour.

[bigmansM]

So I went with "silvadilo" it is a nonmetallic with 30% gloss. The set will be ready by next week. Now I need to decide on tires.

Guys I need some help.

One of the center caps was not in the box with the shipment. Where can I buy them? Also, one was cracked. It would be nice to have the hammann logo caps.

Also, the powdercoater removed those "fake" rivets. Where can I buy some more?

Here's how they turned out
