Changing Things Up - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

hawaiianeze · 10-07-2012, 03:37 PM

It's been a while since I posted, for all that haven't seen my car here's the build thread http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=728102&page=3
If you read through it, I've had some bad luck with some stupid drivers in the past and the cars once again at LTMW. SO... I may just so happen to have a new hood being sent my way * vorsteiner 2x2 carbon*

and am considering to go back to silver m359 rims. I've always been a fan of the murdered look but want others opinions before I pull the trigger. Let me know if i should leave them black, or go to silver

Hard to say, I voted for silver as I can't quite swallow the murdered look. You've got the theme going on though. What about a compromise, say, hyperblack or gunmetal? Both look good on black cars.

I can only get my hands on a pair if silver... and I love the look of m359. Plus I'm not trying to spend more money for a different type of rim at the moment.

Silver -- I prefer a little contrast. The murdered look is okay for a very modified car, but anything short of that needs the details to pop.

Just my opinion of course

(Good looking car, by the way.)

mapleridge · 10-07-2012, 10:22 PM

Go Silver, but some apex ec7's or arc8's with nice concavity.

hickoryE92 · 10-07-2012, 10:41 PM

ever thought about gunmetal?

Hooy · 10-08-2012, 01:16 AM

Please change the color of those wheels to anything else.

wdeerfield · 10-08-2012, 07:38 AM

go silver, maybe people will see your car at night now and stop "running into" you

NJ330i · 10-08-2012, 08:11 AM

It all depends on you to be honest. If you have everything else blacked out (window trim, etc). Then black wheels would be fine, or you could do a wheel setup with a lip that way you can do a black center w/ polished lip. That way you get best of both worlds in 1 hit.

Hope this helps.

JDane07 · 12-23-2012, 06:18 PM

Silver, or gunmetal preferably.

spec1234 · 12-23-2012, 07:17 PM

Silver, all the way. A little contrast can be a good thing.

edit: just realized that this was from a few months ago, but I still stand by my suggestion.
