I thing you should just powder coat them instead of buying new wheels. Save some money. I've seen a couple BBS rims powder coated here in Socal and they look great.

smoke black/black looks really good on the blue... imo, then again, i don't agree with putting black on the silver... that should have silver, or chrome.

If it's the stock Enkei's, I'd say go for it. But I like the stock look of the BBS. I wouldn't paint/powder coat the MR BBS.
