It's a personal thing but I don't like it. Never been a fan of dark wheels unless that is their specific design.

Not a fan either.
The silver looks better imo.

You do! I think it looks sporty & so must BMW with the Sport Plus.
I've gone anthracite which is a little darker but my car is white so can get away with the contrast. Your car being LMB I think Ferric would suit it nicely as Ferric is a little lighter. |

I think it will look good, I nearly got mine done in ferric grey but changed my mind at the last minute as I though it looked to similar to the colour of the car and got them done in satin black. At the end of the day as long as you think it looks good that's all that matters.

Theres two different variations of ferric grey its a bastard to get the right colour. I had mine done ferric grey (BMW paint code) and they looked nothing like the cars id seen they looked bronze in direct sunlight so had them done Silver again.

IMO grey suits this wheel style well, but I don't think it's best on your car colour. I prefer silver against blue. But you've got me thinking about a refurb of my own wheels in ferric grey after seeing then on a white car above...

I think Ferric Gray Really looks best with a white car.
It hides the brake dust, lol. When you get into the darker colors, like black it tends to look like your driving on those spare donut wheels at first glance.
