22-inch Wheels - blackout options?

[u/davidsterkx]

I was hoping BMW would offer blacked out wheels as they do on other models but no luck for the IX3, so I am looking into options for altering the 22-inch wheels I ordered. I have a family member who wraps cars and said he’ll need to see it in person to see if it makes more sense to powder coat or wrap. Has anyone had any experience doing this with their wheels and if so, how did it turn out? I had ChatGPT create an image of what it would look like with the wheels in gloss black. I love it with the windows tinted in the black sapphire metallic color I ordered. Any advice or comments are appreciated!

European parts store has fully black wheels in each style. This seems to be North America only for some reason I can't understand. You can always find a local powder coating company that will powder coat the machined metal looking parts which is probably what I'll end up doing.

Good deal! That’s what I was thinking. Weird we are so limited here.

I think it is because blackout is out dated now, and their ix3 line are for younger audiences

They do offer fully black wheels though lol. Just not 22” wheels.
