Full Photoshoot: My 2013 Alpina B7 with powdercoated wheels. Tons of pics!

Hi everyone. So around the middle of the summer I was lucky enough to find a 2013 Alpina B7 in Alpina Blue over Veneto Beige leather in beautiful condition with 44,000 miles on it. It really is a stunning car. Everything about it is incredible. The color combination, performance, acceleration, braking, and luxury. My brother in-law who is a photographer was nice enough to spend some time and take pictures of the car once the wheels were powdercoated gloss black, the brakes were painted gloss red, and the car was detailed. Here are some of the photos. Looking forward to hearing any comments. Enjoy!

Can you post smaller resolution pictures?

Having a hard time seeing what you posted.

Also, you powder coated them?

I'm having difficulty with my refinished wheels; they're not coming out right.

Apparently powder coating is the way to go, but the 'silver' isn't as nice as my original BMW Individual color.

I see you're in NY. Which wheel shop did you use? And what was the cost?

Thanks so much!

Hi yes I powdercoated the wheels. I used a great shop in Brooklyn, New York called Kwiksilver Wheel Repair. They do amazing work. I've sent them a dozen or so of my cars over the last years so they give me discounted pricing. I believe they would be somewhere in the vicinity of $150 per wheel.

Beautiful B7! I love the color combo & the red brakes! Did you have the brakes powder coated or simply painted?
