Best Color Wheels for Interlagos/LeMans?

SlamMan · 06-09-2010, 05:09 PM

What are your favorite color wheels on Interlagos or Le Mans Blue? As much as I like black wheels they don't work for me on either of the blue M3 offerings. Especially matte. Just my opinion though. For me, I think silver, brushed and lighter gun metal colors are my favorite. Maybe mix in a polished lip depending on the wheel. The OEM 19s and ZCP wheels are great on blue. I also like gold on blue but I don't know if I'd get tired of it too quickly.

I'm not necessarily a fan of these wheels but I think the combination works well.

I think the brushed aluminum wheels accents the colors! Can't go wrong IMO

+1 for brushed aluminum!

Check out the new Awksher AWF.5 Forged Mono block wheels.

Pricey, but the best looking wheels for interlagos blue IMHO.

This is Slipstream's Le Mans E90 with silver RAC RG63's:

There's more photos here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=341624

TLud has gunmetal RG63's and Kev has hyperblack both of which look great, but I prefer silver or brushed especially with darker colored cars.

^ these are all perfect examples

If I would have come across these pics I would have posted them. These wheels look fantastic on the blue.

Wow, those Awksher AWF.5 are stunning. I want 5-spokes more and more daily.

Seems that brushed is an easy choice for the blues. Silverstone (mine) on the other hand is a tricky color...

Brushed aluminum and its not even close.

I was debating this for like 2 weeks...a satin black, or a dark competition grey. Decided on the Comp grey...should be posting pics soon

bavarian19 · 06-10-2010, 05:32 AM

silver or brushed aluminum

A-Man · 06-10-2010, 05:36 AM

brushed aluminium looks the cleanest..

M3 996 · 06-10-2010, 09:31 AM

I totally agreed with silver/brushed... Until I saw this...

Nice. The step lip makes them visually smaller.

I like those wheels but they just don't work for me on blue. Certainly not the worst thing I've seen though. I don't know what it is since black seems to work so well on just about every other color. Maybe not enough contrast. JMO though.

Are those matte or gloss? That's LMB, not Interlagos, I assume?

Park2670 · 06-11-2010, 03:51 PM

My opinion is the brushed with a lip. Thats what I am going to do on my Lemans Blue when it shows up

SlamMan · 06-11-2010, 11:27 PM

I like the blue gold combo but I don't know if I'd get tired of it.
