Fisenko · 07-10-2014, 10:03 PM

hey guys so i just picked up so miro 111 rims from a fellow member, and im looking to put them on my car, because thats what people do with rims lol. so the opinion i needed is black or keep the as they are silver i attached two pictures of white e92 that i just found on google one with silver miro 111 and second one with vmr? maybe, but look similiar to 111s painted black. Last picture is my car just to give an idea of what mine looks like, it has mostly black and white going but seeing other opinions, thanks in advance

The black wheels would steer me away if I were in the market for this car. I think black wheels read: kid's project car. But to each, his own.

Taran.J · 07-10-2014, 11:08 PM

Are you painting or plasti dipping? Or powder?

Personally I'd have them painted midnight blue (Deep blue/navy with a nice flake)

If powdercoating a copper with two shots of clear to make them pop.

Fisenko · 07-10-2014, 11:22 PM

I work At a body shop so paint options are endless, but always good to hear opinions, thanks guys keep them coming

AzureHaze · 07-11-2014, 12:11 AM

Just the way it is looks good to me.

If you really have to mess with it, how about gunmetal?

mansito · 07-11-2014, 06:23 AM

Silver

DASHOCKER · 07-11-2014, 08:38 AM

Not feeling the black, personally.

Underground6t9 · 07-11-2014, 01:03 PM

I vote for black

Fisenko · 07-11-2014, 04:09 PM

Gunmetal was also another option I really like that. Seems like a lot of votes against black, thanks guys

RD335 · 07-11-2014, 06:45 PM

Black rims rock! Some like them, some don't.

John 070 · 07-11-2014, 07:59 PM

Black no good, silver better

e92_enthusiast_1 · 07-11-2014, 08:10 PM

Black wheels look hot on AW e9x, close 2nd prolly gunmetal.

ken1137 · 07-11-2014, 08:40 PM

is your window trim and grille trim silver ? if so then silver, if black then black wheels.

shamu2789 · 07-11-2014, 09:07 PM

Black without a doubt.

Give_Em_The_DD · 07-11-2014, 09:50 PM

Black wheels never photograph well, most look like blobs unless the pic is heavily edited..in person they look great tho...

gigabyte · 07-11-2014, 10:38 PM

silver.

snaimpally · 07-11-2014, 11:37 PM

Perhaps post in the wheels and tire subforum?

Nebraska330xi · 07-12-2014, 12:04 AM

It looks great how it is. Black rims are tough to pull off I think. Usually they get so washed out the just are black holes. Silver looks awesome.
