i4 m50 19” rim wraps?

Are rim wraps a thing? I hate that I can’t get black rims on my new i4 M50… I love the combo of my black rims on my dravit grey m440i, and want the same look on the i4 I just ordered.

Any suggestions on brands of wrap etc. so I can find a certified installer. I’m not really into “mods” and it’s a lease so I’m not going to buy new rims, but I really would love if I can just wrap them!

We have detail shops here in the DC area that wrap wheels (as well as detail, tint, and PPF). Ask the good shops in your area - perhaps Larry at https://ammonyc.com/ can help, but I don't believe he offers that service. Good luck!

The brake dust and heat would most likely destroy the wrap in a short amount of time. I've asked about this regarding protection the face of the rim from rock chips lol.

Why not have the rims powder coated. It will last longer and be easier to clean.

I actually had no idea rim powder coating was a thing. I found out about it after I posted! I’ll definitely have them powder coated. Not sure if I should do gloss or satin black though! Any thoughts? The car is Dravit Grey.

If it's a lease and you need to return wheels to stock condition, you can "plasti dip" your wheels, which is removable. Search on youtube for more info. If permanent, powder coating is definitely the way to go. Good luck
Dark bronze satin would look good on Dravit too
