I recently purchased a 09 jerez black e92 m3. I've decided on VMR 710s for wheels, but not sure what color would work well with jerez black. I don't want to use gloss black because my past 3 cars I had gloss black wheels. But I feel jerez black having the tint of blue is harder to put wheels on. any suggestions?

Gunmetal gray or anthracite would look good, especially if you have any CF pieces on your car.

I went with gunmetal on my jerez, but anthracite or a darker charcoal would look great too.

I actually just got the car a week out two ago so I haven't done any mods yet. But I think gunmetal may be a good option. Thank you for the advice.

do you happen to have any photos you could post? I'm interested to see how it looks. also, is there much difference between gunmetal and anthracite? I thought they were pretty much the same color.

Hyper Silver

theres a reason why you last 3 cars where glass black. It looks the best.

I do like the look of gloss black wheels. I just feel a need to try something different. and honestly just not sure how gloss black wheels would look on jerez black car.

I went with gloss Anthracite on mine and think it turned out great (they almost look matte sometimes depending on the light). The stock ZCP wheels look good in their own right, but they are a little too silvery.

Here are some photos of the pre-powder coating and post - Had them done at BMW of Austin for $185 per wheel, which also included a complete refinish so all of the nicks and curb rash were completely eliminated.

Looks really good with the anthracite wheels. The more Ive been looking, I feel gunmetal would look nice on a jerez black M3. What do you think?

Gunmetal would look awesome. It's quite dark and not the typical black.

if you do some other cosmetic mods, gold

I think it would be just enough color difference to see its not jerez black. Im also thinking about doing the regular hyper silver, but just afraid it will be a little to subtle.

Gold would probably look very nice. just not sure if gold is for me.

Here's mine, with Forgestar gloss gunmetal, which isn't too dark.

Yeah I like that a lot. You may have just made up my mind. I like the gunmetal on jerez black. I just don't want to go too crazy with colored wheels. But I feel regular hyper silver is just a bit too conservative.

Those look damn sexy.

Could go a lil different and get a "dirty" gold color

Wow, I think you just made up my mind with that color? Im guessing that's gunmetal? That's a very nice car. Im loving the look all the way around. Thank you for posting that.

I've seen tons of gunmetal wheels on Jerez black so I went with something a little different. Finish is a VMR powdercoat finish called sunken treasure. It's a really dark bronze that shines gold in the light. Everyone that sees these wheels in person can't believe how good they look. My 2 cents...
