Is that paint or powdercoat? If paint, how is it holding up..? Mine's chipping, not sure if it was just done the wrong way or if it just isn't going to work period.

My 528 has the same look, but its just brake dust.

They look great, are they as hard to keep clean as a black car?

NICE !!! No " Bling-Bling" just serious business. I got my wheel powder coated and the company who did the job told me the paint is gona peel because the heating and cooling what the wheel is got and the old finish what is left under the new top coat is reacting the diferent way

It's painted. They were sandblasted to the metal, curb rash repaired, then repainted. The last time they were painted it flaked off the next day. So far all is well... except for a flat this weekend . I bitched about last time's shoddy paint work and I think they did a better job on it.
