Recommended wheels for Ferrari red?

ccondo · 07-19-2017, 11:10 PM

I had an alpine white e92 m3 and I loved the look of he wheels in a dark grey.

After I purchased a m4 I bought apex track wheels in a similar color but to me the wheels lend in too much. That is fine for track wheels. I am thinking of getting some different wheels for the street and I am struggling with color and style.

I was considering going with a hyper silver, a bronze, or copper type of color. The red seems a little hard to do certain colors on.

I think these would look perfect, bronze with the red center cap and gold lettering

Personally I am not a fan of any wheel color outside of the general silver/grey/black family. It screams after market. Why do you want to change the factory 666m wheels? I think they actually look really good on your car.

Your car looks fantastic btw, such an amazing color. Maybe BMW will go back to making a true vibrant red for M cars one day...

I would go with Gloss black. The FR color is super glossy, the performance trim parts are gloss black I think the liquid look of both those combined with a gloss black color wheel will really make the car look good.

To me the 20" wheels ride a bit rough. Also I just want to make the car a bit more unique.

ccondo · 07-20-2017, 07:53 AM

Good points on the glossiness of the car. I hadn't considered a gloss black.

ccondo · 07-20-2017, 07:56 AM

I found some wheels some options looking around last night.

Any thoughts on these?

Mike991M4 · 07-20-2017, 08:03 AM

refinish the 666's in gloss black.

ccondo · 07-20-2017, 09:13 AM

Did you have those powder coated or painted? And other pics?

The HRE P101/R101 design is arguably the best looking wheel on the F8X platform and a lot of members here on Bimmerpost can attest to that.

Brushed Dark Clear is one of the best finishes available from within HRE

And oh yea, if you go with the R101 Lightweights in 19" you're looking at an almost unbelievable 16.7 lb fronts and 17.6 lb rears respectively.

It is an amazing wheel. If cost were no object I am down to some hre wheels or bbs FIR wheels.

vividracing · 07-20-2017, 01:41 PM

It depends on what your budget is, really. There are plenty of wheel manufactures that dont cost HRE money, but can still get you a really great finish. I think a brushed dark wheel looks awesome on that color car. Something similar to these:

Simple Brushed Finish doesn't look bad in our opinion. Here are some to help you out.

If you still want HRE quality but without the Forged price tag, you can go with our FlowForm options if you'd like. They pass the same TUV certification test our Forged wheels do, so you know you're getting a solid wheel at a much lesser price

Above a set of FF01's in Tarmac installed on a Imola Red M4.

What are the sizes of the wheels? Those look great

Those appear to be 19's. If so it would be 19"x9" // 19"x10" but Jurrian from HRE can confirm this for us.
