Which do you think looks better?

Black Gloss or OEM Silver Wheels on a Alpine White E92.

JJH · 04-11-2018, 12:11 AM

I know it's not answering your question but I reckon anthracite/charcoal works better especially if you have the carbon roof or carbon bits.

Of your two options I'd say silver as I'm not so much a fan of the black wheels look ....

kosz888 · 04-11-2018, 12:31 AM

Yeah I'm also leaning towards silver though I have not seen a set on a white E92 in person.
Photos online to me also look better compared to black though maybe some image enhancement is a factor.

The Black looks good up close as that's what I'm running at the moment, though from a distance I feel like the rim and tire together are too black thus hiding the detail of the rims.

dean87 · 04-11-2018, 12:46 AM

Black,
no Bias :P

Machined looks good on white, but a gunmetal or shadow chrome like the e39 m5 looks best.

Im not a fan of black or silver, but the black looks tough and the silver clean/classy depending which you prefer

DOCTOR.Y · 04-11-2018, 03:34 AM

IMO, silver looks better because it's easier to see the spoke.

Rajvosa · 04-11-2018, 09:36 AM

i love those wheels and prefer the silver look on my 1M and same on M3. the black just hides the design of the wheel

LSM3 · 04-11-2018, 03:06 PM

I think that silver has a more prestigious look, but both colours look fine

Josparky · 04-11-2018, 10:52 PM

Black or Charcoal in my opinion looks more aggressive than silver..

A'PEXi · 04-12-2018, 01:58 AM

I know of a black set for sale QLD, PM if interested

kosz888 · 04-12-2018, 07:46 PM

Yeah, I agree with the comments that silver is more of a classy look compared to the aggressive look of the black. What do you guys think of Gold? I found a pic of a E90 with a similar wheel to the bmw 359ZCP.

XIX · 04-12-2018, 08:32 PM

Bronze or copper is good I recon, not gold though.

I have long thought about getting bronze or copper !

boostED82 · 04-12-2018, 10:19 PM

Do one side black, and the other side silver... You can only ever see one side of a car and two wheels at a time right...?

haha, yeah I though about doing that. I can try to convince my brother to swap two of his silver zcp's from his 1m.

DOCTOR.Y · 04-13-2018, 03:05 AM

I had black 359 before and now has silver 359. I attached two pictures for your comparison. Black colour I feel I need to go very close to see the design but it looks very cool once getting close enough.

I did this with my evo when I was deciding what color wheel to go with. I had different sides different colors and swapped it a couple times. Not one family or friend ever noticed. It definitely helped me decide which color I wanted.

kosz888 · 04-16-2018, 06:54 PM

Does anyone know approx how much it would cost to paint the wheels another color?
And who would be best for the job in Brisbane.

XIX · 04-16-2018, 10:45 PM

600 - 1000 depending on condition and what you getting done.
