Just finished putting them in the second layer of wheel sealent so they can go back on the car next week

Greetings from the Netherlands
Cool!

With so many reps out there, it's unusual to see the real thing.

They look great.

Looks great! I think those CSL's look great in silver on an E92, but would look funny on my car. Unless they were a different finish

Same SGM color as you have.

Was ready to buy CSL, almost bought V710.
But each time came back to 162.

Just installed them 2night, doesn't regret my choice.
Still thing that those 162 are one of the best looking OEM wheels BMW made for the E90.

Maybe next year, will go for those in 19", if my dentist can glue my fillings...

AluFelgen SF-71 in GunMetal or HyperBlack
I agree, I don't really like how the E90 335 LCI's have the sport package E92 rims No more originality lol. But I have grown to love these 162's very much. I just want a different look for different weather.

AluFelgen FTW just no more gunmetal for me

I agree Bav, a lot of nice wheel combinations here! I do plan on perhaps vinyl wrapping the trim in the future (the OEM black trim are a tad pricey). And yeah, you cant go wrong w AluFelgens...in short im happy with my purchase. But knowing me, will prob get tired of the look in 6 months and swap out again! Best of luck to you man

Looks great, Bav! Do you have any more pictures? What are the specs on your wheels? I'd love to see more.

I think I'm going to go with the CS7's in Diamond Gunmetal.

I love the look of gunmetal on your car Looks really aggressive.

Haha! Yes, I got a quote of $645 for the trim from Tischer (WITHOUT labor ). Although that was for the gloss. But I'm glad you're happy man, it looks great! You shouldn't get tired of it too quickly, the look is timeless

And thanks! I am quite picky, as everyone can see from the this thread

I think that's Andy's car you're looking at But aggressive is right.

The Diamond gunmetal finish is very clean though, like a rich darker silver color Just seen it somewhere on this board the other day.

CS7 ftw!

Bumperstiltzkens.

I'm actually reconsidering silver now It looks really good on this color. I have embraced the contrast. Any more SGM out there?

I have a SGM e92 and went with VMR 710's in hypersilver. They match nicely with the chrome trim.

Damn thread !
I'll maybe have a very clean set of 162 for sale ... with almost brand new RFT Michelin Pilot PS2's.
I have to get out of this forum b-fore I go either broke or without a family

The black does looks good but only if you black out all the trim.

Looks very good! I was actually thinking of blacking out all the trim and using Hypersilver anyway Would really draw some nice attention to the rims.

That Ericsson front is so dope That's also an E92. Not gonna do matte black for this one.

But that car looks amazing.

Yeah it looks terrible if the chrome trim is kept. I'm switching mine to gloss black anyway because the finish on my chrome trim is pretty much done for, and I'm not replacing it for more chrome trim lol.

If you like matte black, but don't like *all* matte black, just get an aluminum lip.

I think a titanium or hyperblack color fits the SG perfectly. Here's my setup:

That looks really good! A lot better on an E92 than on an E90 though, in my opinion, since they are already a bit sportier looking and the murdered look comes off better. I think I'm actually going to go with Hyper silver. I was considering gunmetal or storm gray but I really don't want a bunch of blending anymore. I think a silver contrast on the wheels would look beautiful, as I can already tell a bit from having my 162's. Just imagining all my trim gloss black with hyper silver V701's and a drop for my sig is making me
