I am interested in painting my pm wheels another color but Im not sure if that style will fit my bike. Does anyone have pics of their bike with painted pm wheels?

E30, I can vouch for the black PM on Ken's bike. They look even better in person.

I thought about painting my pm's but I think I'm going to sell them and just get oem ones.

That is an a real nice bike !!

I've seen powder coats in yellow and orange too. Black goes with anything...

one thought on powder coating pm wheels,
I did mine clear PM wheels flex more than cast wheels, this cracks the PC and water gets under the plastic film, you can get some rot of the wheels that way, I spent a lot of time polishing out the damage

FYI, that S1 looks great, paint might be better...

S1owner- Are your wheels painted or powdercoated? How long have you had them done? Have you had any issues with the wheels flexing and cracking the paint that Oldog described?

Powder coated they were blasted, coted black, then cleared, then uv coated held up great no issues at all I just sold them.
