Alloy wheel finish on BSM

h-manuk · 07-02-2012, 03:24 PM

Trying to make a decision on what type of wheel finish to go for on my BSM

I don't want to go black as I want to maintain contrast between wheels and body. I am contemplating hyper black or nogaro silver finishes.

I am not intending to add any CF parts and want to maintain a classy look. I also have the rear black lines on order.

I like the look of the original E30 M3 in jet black with the BBS silver lip and nogaro centres. Not that I would do a 2 tone finish but it's giving me inspiration.

What do you guys think?

I have always been a fan on hyper silver against a metallic black car

Yes, hyper silver is very nice. I think I would need to have a metalic black base coat to get the right finish as shown here;

I think my original suggestions would reduce the contrast somewhat!

Hyper black. OEM wheels are silver.

I was thinking something like this http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...81&postcount=1 though after seeing one in the flesh today, it looks too flat.

Maybe Hyper Black/Silver is the way to go.

That audi hyper silver wheel looks really nice. Sorry to hijack your thread Hetan but what do you and others think of these carbon dipped wheels in particular the r32 wheels and 19" wheels - http://www.wickedcoatings.co.uk/wheels-2

I'm loving the color on my wheels: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=657659

because of the paint process, they look closer to a gunmetal during the day, but at night, they look very stealth and appear to be darker (because of the paint flop caused in the metallic topcoat).
