I was looking at the Rieger Tuning catalog, and they use a lot of chrome wheels. Caught my eye, and was wondering about the chrome.

Robert · 06-20-2008, 02:19 AM

I think TiAg is the only color chrome can work

Oregon · 06-20-2008, 04:16 AM

Over the top. IMO.

Abel_135 · 06-20-2008, 04:31 AM

they look chavy

BMW Dreamer · 06-20-2008, 06:58 AM

NO. Chrome, YUK. Sorry, you asked opinions. Good luck.

Yes, I did ask for opinions. And I like 'em when they are honest. I'm not looking for phoney strokes... I can get those in Vegas... LOL!

gargoyal · 06-20-2008, 01:03 PM

not my thing. not into the bling bling. But I can't talk, most people think I lean towards being ricey.

M2 · 06-21-2008, 09:28 AM

Yikes!!!!....not happening....

Try one of these... sure they are going to cost more ( just save and be patient) but these wheels were made for this type of car. Not only do they look good, they enhance the driving experience.

M2 · 06-21-2008, 09:40 AM

a few more......

CAMike · 06-21-2008, 09:43 AM

Not feeling the chrome...besides it adds extra weight over the non-chromed version of the same wheel...

warmtoes · 06-21-2008, 10:36 AM

I'm getting a TiAg vert as well and would not consider those or any chrome wheels in general. I like the ones posted above though.

M2,
Thanks... I just can't help feeling that the std rims are a bit boring, and don't make enough of a statement.

I guess I just don't know what wheels would really light up that TiAg 'vert. :iono:

MastaMind · 06-23-2008, 06:30 AM

TagMan, if you're looking for a bright colored wheel that's not heavy or too flashy, you might want to check out the Volk RE30 in Mercury Silver. It's a lightweight, strong wheel, and it really pops in MS color (it's not too shiney like chrome).

I know there are a couple forum members with this wheel, so if you search around, I'm sure you can find a pic or two.

Wraith · 06-23-2008, 10:07 PM

When it comes to wheels, it's a case of each to his own...what ever looks good in your eyes should do, as long as they fit and work properly on the car too, don't worry too much about other peoples opinions.

Wheels are the most visually influencial external mod you can do to any car, so go with what you want/desire, as that's what it's all about - to personalise your car to your own individual taste !

I had a look at the link you provided and IMHO they looked 'not bad'...

coco_m3 · 06-23-2008, 10:11 PM

just wait for my wheels to get to my house and ill post pics of my Gunmetal CSL's on my TiAg 135i.

P.S.
i dont like the chrome......
unless it is matte black on the inside with a chrome lip.

faulkds · 06-26-2008, 04:17 AM

Hmm, Ok if you want your car to look like a pimps car.

Boogie · 06-26-2008, 06:45 AM

I think the Hartge wheel looks amazing:

8 and 9x19 ET42 if i'm not mistaking...

faulkds · 06-27-2008, 09:40 AM

Oh, you might want to get some spinners that will really finish the look. :-)
