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

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.

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

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

I do think that Hypersilver IS the way to go on a SGM 335i w/chrome molding.
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

Still think Matte Black is a winner.

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

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:

Ah, you're the dude with the 5% tint
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
