Professionally painting my m666 alloys - ruin resale value?

I have a sakhir orange m4 competition convertible which I love. I've owned it for three years on finance and plan on owning it a few years more as a privately owned car. For the money I can't think of any better car.

I'm considering having my alloys painted / power coated bronze as part of their refurbished like the below.

Might this impact resale however since this isn't a "stock" colour?

If you're not selling the wheels separately and just including them on the car when you sell in a few years, I don't think it will affect resale value. But then, it will be a 6 year old car and I don't think most buyers are looking for perfection or 100% original finish wheels.

In a few years you can find someone to swap their OEM wheels with you for free on here - they'll basically get a free powder coat/ paint.

If not you're prob hurting the value by MAX 1k

Ok thanks, I think I will do it.

I also want to do a full carbon upgrade all around.

If you consider now much crappy 911 997s go for, and the stupid prices for even a 2013 991, the m4 competition is remarkable value.
