I'm going to have my wheels powder coated, proabably in a dark grey colour.
I have the standard alloys that come with a 325iSE, the type that look like bbs but are not.
I was wondering what people did about painting the centre caps. I assume they can't be powdercoated????



Also one of my centre caps is a bbs one, although it fits, it's not quite right so if anyone can do a swap for the non bbs one - let me know


Thanks

Pete

Ive just had mine done a few weeks ago and you have to strip the centre caps down so its just the alloy bits that get powder coated as the plastic wont like the oven that they put the wheels in.
