Those look incredible, love it! I’m debating doing the same silver or maybe satin gold. I’ve also thought about purchasing a replica set of brushed 1000m wheels in silver or gold. Huge dilemma lol here are a couple photoshop attempts;

I love my 826M’s in the factory black on my Dravit car. However, due to the gold in the paint and the gold calipers on the CCB’s I think this color might look really good. I have always done aftermarket wheels on all of my cars, my wife’s cars (or SUV’s) and even my kids cars (or trucks). I just usually think that there is room for improvement. I was interested in a number of different wheels for this car while I was waiting for it to be built. When I took delivery, I lost interest in aftermarket wheels because I liked the the 826M’s so much. All of that said, they’re still a number of great looking aftermarket wheels out there. To answer the original question, powder coating is the way to go on wheels whether looking for a color change or just to redo the color you had. I have had great experience with it. |

Your car looks incredible. Love the OEM+ look. Tried to PM you to ask for some details but I guess I haven’t posted enough on the forums to be verified.
I’m Swiss based (SZ) - saw some hints you might be as well. May I ask approx what the cost was to powder coat the wheels and the lowering / spacers that went with it? Cheers and amazing car. |

For the lowering I’m just looking for a sportier look, especially at the front which looks too high for my taste. It’s my daily though, plan to track it casually once per year, so more of a sporty street setup. Would you have a recommendation? If not I’ll contact Daehler and maybe LCE - Lake Constanz Engineering for some ideas. |

I want to change the color of my BC forged wheels to a polished lip with the center spoke to a brushed champagne but I heard you shouldn't bake a forged wheel. I'm not sure how expensive it is.

Maybe reach out to them and get their input on having a set of previously finished wheels re-finished. |

I should add…My BC Forged wheels are powder coated from the factory so I don’t see why you couldn’t get yours done…but previous disclaimer applies…ask them and don’t trust a (friendly) stranger on the internet. |

Has anybody done a matte black powder coat on the 827M wheels? I love the look of them in black, but the gloss finish doesn't do it for me. It's also pretty susceptible to chips.

I just got quoted 1200 for my wheels to powder coat. I guess I'm paying for a two piece wheel to disassemble an reassemble.
