Look here.
Google: plastidip wheels, then shopping because the wheels do not match the color of the car at all.

Might as well blackout the calipers too if you want everything done right.
Do not fucking plasti-dip a 7 series. That's teenage bullshit.

A matter of taste but NO plastidip. IMHO, that is ridiculous for a 7 series. Maybe for a souped up Honda or Nissan. Wheels do not have to match the color of the car. They are a design element of their own. Calipers also can be a variety of colors, and if you want to paint them, why have them blend in to dark wheels. Let them stand out.

Painting standard calipers also looks dumb to me, because the housings were not designed to stand out so they always look very obviously like rattle-canned base parts to me.

very nice car. i used the new diamond audio last week in a 750i and found it amazing! maybe try adjusting the fader & treble on i drive settings it makes it far better for me at least. you can adjust all sorts of other things to get the most out of your car. Love the blacked out grill!:cool!:

Totally agree. The (mental) visual cheapens the aesthetic of the car completely.
