Different colour wheels

Hi,
is anyone able to photoshop this with black wheels and gun metal colour wheels?



It may not be the best lighting but I'm wondering how the car would look with different colour alloys.

May be easier to Google image search those as they are popular colours and popular wheels.

I didn't like the look of black wheels that much but gloss black wheels look pretty nice.

I'm putting gloss black CSLs on my Sapphire Black E92 tomorrow. Hopefully I didn't make a mistake going with gloss black over graphite heh.

Cool. Make sure you post up a picture. Gun metal would be my other choice.

Still need to put the proper wheel centre caps in but you get the idea.

They look nice!

The owner of a black 335D MSport just a few hundred yards down the road actually just did his which I've just spotted since I started this thread.

1 more item on the wish list...

Cheers. Now I just need to keep them clean. I put a few coats of Poorboys wheel sealant on them from new so hopefully it won't be too much hassle to keep them looking OK.

Good stuff.
Well they can't be as much trouble as the silvers to keep clean

The cool thing with gloss black, let them get a bit of road grime on them and they turn anthracite ha ha. Obviously look better dry but still.
