OEM Silver or Gunmetal for wheels for JB e90?

E90 Skye · 11-27-2009, 12:56 PM

Trying to choose between OEM Silver color or a very light gunmetal wheel...
basically trying to choose in my head between Alufelgen's new sf 71 and Vorsteiner's CS1

alufelgen sf 71 in OEM silver

vorsteiner cs 1

but the cs1 would be in this finish:

decisions decisions.
all of them look like incredible wheels.

again this is for a Jet Black e90.

Gunmetal IF you have no other "brushed aluminum" pieces on the car.

Otherwise, silver with any other aluminum pieces on the car ......

well i have blacked out grill set. but I was thinking of doing a gloss black vinyl wrap on the window trim. That is the only aluminum/chrome i have left on the car.

If you go that route then I would stick with the gunmetal/JB combination all day long.

I like the way your M6 reps look on your e92. what finish is that?

I had them polished & painted Jet Black over the factory Anthracite color. Pictures in my "e92" album.

I was in your shoes but more focused on the style of the two wheels. I think either would look good on your car. The red vorsteiner caps would set it off nicely.

If the SF71 comes in their new hyper black that might be nice also. But from what I've seen the CS1 gunmetal is one of the best shades yet, not too dark.

Personally I'm going with the cs1 because I' disappointed in the way the spokes look on the SF71.

good point!
anybody have pics of an e90 with a light shade of gunmetal colored wheel?

You can't go wrong with one set of CS7's
