Hi all,

I recently traded in a set of pretty beaten up SCHMIDT rims as shown in the pics below.
They are already sandblasted and ready for powder coating and I have to decide on the colour.
Mine do not have chromed centres though and now I have a hard time to decide on the colour. The lips are stainless steel which has a slightly darker shine than alloy.


silver with chromed screws
matte black with chromed screws
glossy black with chromed screws
matte black with TiNi plated (gold coloured) screws
glossy black with TiNi plated (gold coloured) screws
something totally different from the above

Thanks for your help upfront. :thanks:

Black or silver centers would look nice IMO! Black centers with chrome lip and screws looks killer. That's a lot of wheel on that car, Upping the Discs and Calipers would also be fitting, Wish it was mines, Even the Steering wheel is on the correct side...)

they are 18" so there is some space for serious rotors and callipers.

This is what i was going to get

It is SICK

decision made - and screws can easily be replaced with chrome ones.

SLICK LOOKIN' WHEEL BRO... amazing turn out... I dig the choice!


Cheers!

I bet they'd look pretty sharp on an E31.

I bet they'd look pretty sharp on an E31.You're right they would look nice..The big question is ,are they for sale and how much$$$????:D

Yes, they are for sale. For a brief moment I considered using them myself on my E24 but I stick with my AC Schnitzer. Price for the set is Euro 1.500,- plus shipping.

come on guys, support Wolf's Trip-back-to-the-states fund!

Nice wheel, Since the wheel has chrome behind the screws, Might look good with black screws too.

Yeah, I agree with 8eights... Go for black screws, that will set it off real nice.

Hey Wolf, are your E24's ACS staggered?

Yes, they are:
9x17, offset 6mm front with 235/45/17
11x17, offset 8mm rear with 275/40/17

I run only staggered wheels on all my bimmers.

BTW, black screws for the SCHMIDT Revolution rims would certainly look nice, but they are outrageously expensive (roughly $3,- each and we're talking 160 screws)

Can't you powerdercoat them?

Powdercoat chrome plated screws? No way, won't last and look super shitty. What I can get is black chromed screws of the same quality as the chromed or Titanium plated ones.

Who said put powedercoat on top of chrome???

so what exactly do you mean? Powder coat what kind of screw?

Can't you remove the Gold plating and reuse them? I thought it would be cost effective since there $3.00 each for new ones.

I would end up at an even higher price.

I like the gold screws... gives it nice detail ... IMO
