BLACK BMW Sedan

What wheels look better on a black e90 or e46 sedan. Black wheels? Silver wheels? Or grey?

Bimmer_Engineer · 04-01-2020, 01:35 AM

Silver

That looks pretty good too...

Personally I think black wheels are a little over done. Silver or gray like the 193M's in the above post look really good. There are some really nice OEM wheels that can be found pretty cheap on ebay or facebook marketplace.

I like gunmetal wheels on Black personally.

Silver > gun metal > chrome > satin black > gloss black

Here's 19" style 220's on my E92 335Xi

Hows are those firehawk indy 500s? Are they grippy and quiet and what tire do you compare them to? Ive been wanting to get these because of the awsome cool looking tread and the price. ALso how are the sidewalls and comfort?
Your car looks great btw

I use to have black rims on my e90 but I have had the oem style 197s for a while now. I wonder if people still rode on black rims on a black car since that was the craze here 5 years ago.

I think dark wheels in the winter looks alright. Contrasts with the snow.

Also, I haven't seen much 666 around here so I thought I'd share, they're just knockoffs obviously.

Only had them on for 300 miles or so but so far so good. I haven't pushed them in any sense of the word as its still quite cold here but I have high hopes for them in all of the typical metrics. Theyre reasonably quiet (a hair louder on the highway than my Altimax snows but the contact patch is like 50% wider in the rear so its expected.)

I was an MPSS fanboi when they were first introduced but that was on a very different car (2011 Subaru STI).

are the sidewalkks thicker compared to most tires that same size like how for example a Michelin tire of the same size would be thicker compared to another tire brand?

For me, personally, black with silver "rivets" around the edge look kick-ass on a blacked out E90!

Cheers!

Boosted12a · 04-01-2020, 07:11 PM

Silver or bronze/gold

I’m not sure I understand the question. Thicker can mean a lot of things.

I like the black with silver look but they have to be clean and bright. My wheels are starting to fade so time for powder coat I guess.
