Refurb alloy time but what colour???

[Ant1]

Car is booked in next Tuesday for the wheels to be refurbed. I can't decide if I should just stick to OEM or something like below.
What do you think?

Standard

Darker

Most people will say standard/silver.

I'd go darker personally, makes it look a tad more evil rather than soft :smilingimp:

 

[N4TH4N]

^^ Agree with that. Darker definitely looks better imo

Darker

Darker for sure, the original bright silver makes it look kinda SE spec.

Also, get roof bars, they make it look purposeful, which is pretty cool.

the darker one has tinted windows though. Adds to the effect more.

So does mine lol

Darker (and lower!).

When I see a BMW with darker/black wheels it instantly screams it's been raped to me for some reason, there are so many varients around here with darker wheels, usually E46's and they generally look awful . However I saw a rather low E36 M3 earlier with sunflower wheels in bright silver and they looked great

Standard or somewhere between the 2 pics, not as dark as the 2nd pic IMO

Call me boring, but I'd go for standard/silver every time.

It's a nice car you have there anyway :up:

Lol. I nearly bought that M5. She wanted to PX it for a FFRR we had.

I would keep them a nice bright shiny silver.

Did you see it in the flesh? What's a FFRR?

 

[Herr Flick]

No I didn't. She/they wanted retail money for the M5. History/spec seemed great tho. (had it for sale a while)
Full Fat Range Rover. :wink:

OEM is king on premium motors i reckon, high silver for me!

 

[Ian_182]

Silver for me too. come re-sale they will just look s**t and nobody will think the wheels are genuine etc, etc.
Silver looks good, and as said get some roof bars for bikes or ski's or whatever, they do look good on estates.

 

[Sir_Dave]

OEM. Unless you are a badmanz of course.

 

[Lal B3N]

OEM.

 

[_Tom]

100% silver. Dark makes the terrible wheels look even worse..

 

[Casper Smith]

I agree, has to be OEM. I like the look of the darkened alloys but it's a M5 not a 530 ☺

 

[Daniel]

Dark looks shat.

 

[Fletcher]

Standard.
