Poll: which color

BrokenVert · 03-22-2011, 11:09 AM

Alright I'm at a standstill. I know I want a set of OZ Ultraleggeras. I just don't know if I want them in black or silver.

Silver:

Black:

Here's a shot of the car. It's SGM

Gary@TireRack · 03-22-2011, 12:04 PM

Tough call. I could go either way.

Walt White Coupe · 03-22-2011, 12:17 PM

I'm old school. I like to see nice wheels and black makes them disappear.

miro2296 · 03-22-2011, 12:42 PM

Silver IMO, so far 11 silver, 0 Black

AchtungF80 · 03-22-2011, 12:51 PM

For SGM - my vote is silver.

Nishan · 03-22-2011, 01:34 PM

I concur - silver

collegemt · 03-22-2011, 01:46 PM

Black vs silver is a 100% different look.

I like both but I prefer the black.

However I have black wheels and you can't really see the wheel detail until you get up close. on a plus side the brake dust is much less noticable.

Here is black on on TSM:
Direct sun light:

From a distance. not in direct sun:

romak47 · 03-22-2011, 01:58 PM

i vote dark green

BrokenVert · 03-22-2011, 01:58 PM

Wish I was going with 18"s I would get Matte Graphite Silver and call it a day

Tough descision

Ultraleggera are ET 40 mm? Not ideal, especially in back.

Walt White Coupe · 03-22-2011, 02:40 PM

Like I said Silver.

MarkR171 · 03-22-2011, 02:45 PM

Silver.

Black wheels look like crap, imo.

BrokenVert · 03-22-2011, 06:50 PM

Lol so it's 2-1 silver right now

ZIPNBYE · 03-22-2011, 09:12 PM

For Space Grey...silver, hands down. Black will make the whole car look drab and dark.

I like black wheels, and I just ordered some for my space grey 1er...to OP, I think either will look good on your car!

Pablito1702 · 03-22-2011, 09:32 PM

Silver color for sure. But since you are going with smaller 17" wheels, weight savings can't be that big an issue. So I am curious why you are going with a wheel that has an aftermarket look to it. I would have thought you would have preferred the aethestics of a more traditional looking BMW wheel for your car.

BrokenVert · 03-22-2011, 09:36 PM

^when did I ever give that impression?

I don't like traditional and the OZs weigh 17lbs a piece, that's pretty light so I can tell you that weight savings are important to me.

Lubo · 03-22-2011, 10:02 PM

Looks like silver is winning.

With an SGM, I say Alleggerita's in 18x8 and 18x9 in Blue, Red or Orange, be different. They're still 40 mm offsets, so that may be pretty aggressive for the rear.

BrokenVert · 03-23-2011, 12:12 PM

Id do those colors on a track wheel for sure, but for the street its a bit much. Ive also never been a fan of the Aggerita's styling.
