Yes exactly... 22,000 miles ago when he replaced the DISA and intake boots as well. :)

I really do. Another look at the previous owner's records also show that the OFHG was done 3k miles before I purchased the car. That made me smile...

So I've been seriously considering powdercoating the 135s. I plasti dipped them today to see if I like the look.

Yay or nay? (I'll have more photos in the morning)

Not at all a fan. At the risk of breaking hearts, have to say it looks ricey. With a dark-coloured car I think you need light-coloured wheels.

+1. The OEM color is my favorite one.

Alfredo, it depends on how the wheels are refinished. Personally...I prefer the hyperblack finish on my wheels. Not quite OEM but still looks good :thumbsup

Not too bad though I think I like OEM silver better. A grey color like anthracite might look ok.

Here's some better light.

I feel that the matte finish does make it look cheap. I would usually like light wheels on a dark car, but I have an affinity for blue bimmers with dark wheels.

I think I might fool around with photoshop to see how anthracite looks.

Still not a fan, BUT, it matches the rest of the car very well.
