who told you that was sparkling graphite?

esobzn · 04-09-2010, 09:02 PM

the book and everybody.
just the shade makes it look a little darker.

It depends how sinister-looking you want to have the car. First, you could try to take a few photos and Photoshop on a few different sets of black and chromium wheels.

black looks to dirty for me. Gunmetal to match, mabe matte grey like jet anthracite, or im getting hyper black sf7's

On S.G.M silver and chrome is safe. it personally think it depends on your plans for the window trim. what every you do to the wheels you have to match the trim.

Absolutely no chrome.

I must be going color blind. That car looks black to me.

Matte Black, by far:

When I posted before, I did not see your car with different wheels, that's why I advised Photoshop. Now, when I have looked at your car with the three different sets of wheels, I must say I like it best with the dark rims - it adds style to the vehicle and makes it look lowered. It is a beautiful car. Good luck.

I like these rims on SG. I plan to get some some time this year.

sole cal · 04-10-2010, 02:01 AM

alloy or matte black

c_jeong89 · 04-10-2010, 02:25 AM

silver always looks nice and classy. i wouldn't do chrome, imo chrome wheels on a bmw is a no no. black can give it an aggressive look.

+1 I would stick with silver, it's a clean look that works on any car.

esobzn · 04-10-2010, 02:21 PM

9.5" rears and 8.5" fronts are fine - you have plenty of room. We have a wide selection of wheel/tore packages on our site - or feel free to PM me directly if you should need assistance on getting a set.

We've supplied most of the members of the forums with VMRs.
