Ferric grey wheels OPINIONS NEEDED

I have decided to add a few changes to my 2005 e90 monaco blue i have had the windows tinted but have been considering refurbing my alloys from standard silver to gloss ferric grey. however was not to sure how this colour combo would go (monaco blue and Ferric grey) I had searched the net looking for this combo but couldnt find anything so giving that it looked great on every other colour i saw it on i decided to give it a go. i only done one wheel to get and idea how it will look. i have just put the wheel back on but cant realy get a good look at it in the dark i do like the look but not totaly convinced so i need yor opinions . iPhone pics are not great and make the wheel look matt but it is gloss finish . cheers

Cheers. It is gloss ferric grey though so it should be the same as factory finish. Looks a lot different in real life

I saw this color on wheels at the BMW Welt. Very unique and would be a nice choice, especially if you are running factory pads because of brake dust.

Rather than buying a new grill i opted to have the outside of mine resprayed gloss black with the lines running through the middle sanded to take off the chrome and left it at jus the dull black
