Damn, the reps look better to me. The spokes are a bit thinner so it looks a bit more agressive.

xquizit · 03-22-2010, 06:06 PM

Wow, it looks great and I think this is the first time I have seen these...

I would say keep them as is.... I am a fan of gunmetal, but at times it makes me wonder if the wheels are actually dirty or gunmetal, feel me?

Nick3237 · 03-22-2010, 06:15 PM

keep them silver!

where did you pick up the reps?

OwnAge · 03-22-2010, 06:28 PM

Looks sick. As i said in your 1st thread Leave them the &^*%&^%&^%& alone. Those wheels on TiAg look amazing. Black would f it up, gunmetal would look nice but why waist money on powdercoat when you already have such an amazing finish.

Enjoy them this season and if you'll get tired paint em next spring.

rush jamaica · 03-22-2010, 06:47 PM

leave them

teleopti · 03-22-2010, 07:02 PM

the nice thing about the authentic is that it sits flush, which is so nice. I'll try to find a pic for you guys and the OP. (I like the finish you have now OP, gunmetal it and then you'll have to compliment it with darker parts on the car)

I'm running the 260Ms as winters and I'm loving them so much over my v710's that I may just grab some summer tires and throw it on for summer time + some spacers

What tires are you running currently and hows the feedback?

jopa489 · 03-22-2010, 08:35 PM

Leave it, looks great.

Ya. The quality that is BMW is pretty sweet. I love them and if you are running the same wheel on a sedan, then you don't need spacers at all. I've included some side shots for you to see.

I have it on Michelin Pilot Sport tires PS2 RFT and the car rides on rails. The rains in South Florida get pretty crazy and I didnt realize how fast I was going one time simply b/c of how well the tires clear the water. Because the wheel is also light, there are no stresses to the steering rack and column and the MPG ratio hasnt changed.

PlannBee · 03-22-2010, 11:44 PM

i like them in silver.
Looks great!

mastermayhm · 03-23-2010, 03:38 AM

hell yea, good choice, complements the car nicely

teleopti · 03-23-2010, 11:37 PM

btw where did you get that hood?!!?!?

VDogger · 03-23-2010, 11:49 PM

I recommend you leave them alone, but if you decide you don't want them then sell them to me.

I'm really interested in that style and in that color. No joke.

SES_D · 03-23-2010, 11:51 PM

they look clean man....but if you really want to powercoat them, I would do a glossy gunmetal if that's possible.

2nd....or just wait until you curb a wheel and just refinish them then
