NEED HELP: what finish for my 19" csl rims?

ModificaClassica · 03-22-2008, 04:04 PM

Hey Guys,

Just traded my 330i in for a 335i in Titanium Silver, Black Guts, with Grey poplar trim.

I'm getting my 19" CSL's refinished and I'm trying to decide what finish to go with. Take a look at these photo-chops and tell me what you think would be the best route.

1. Standard silver trim
2. Gun-metal
3. Matte black

Planning on sticking with the stock sports suspension.

E: No doubt, the flat black all the way. It almost looks MB'ish to me (which s a good thing) the silver OEM color looks wack on this car for some reason. congrats on the new whip

Definitely a personal preference, but I like the stock look of the standard silver.

yamazaho · 03-22-2008, 06:34 PM

Normally I would say gunmetal, but that's already done.

So this time I would say try the matte black with time attacks....

#3 looks hot...think about it tho.

If you like Black Tennis shoes and Work Boots go with Black. IMO they suck!

Check out the Miro CSL's great hyper silver color, plus lighter than the Velocities. **********s.com No I don't work for them, just love mine.
