Space Grey BMW Coupes with Black Rims

Can anyone post this color and rim combination because I'm thinking about getting it and need some inspiration in terms of how it will look.

Nice! Thanks for posting xxp0loxx. The look I was thinking of getting was all black rim with a slight white outline like on this m3.

I recommend it if you get rid of the chrome on the car.



Some other options as well.

This car had a custom bronze done on his V713



Hyperblack also works well on grey.

Wow good pics Nick. Really like the look of the first one. The black trim with the black wheels really sets it off nicely!Unfortunately I have the chrome trim despite having the sport seats and folding mirrors. Anyway to get rid of the chrome and replace it with black?

Easy to do, you can replace the front grills with our matte black grill set:



For the window trim, purchase matte black 3M vinyl to install over.

How much does it cost to turn the silver siding into black and is it easy to install?

The trim isn't too easy to vinyl...at least it wasn't that easy for me. I use the stuff from shadowlinetrim.com. If you got big sheets of vinyl it would be a lot easier, bit will most likely cost you a tad more.

You can buy a roll of 3M Vinyl for ~$5.

What are the dimensions for said roll, and is it the same quality as what people are vinyling their entire cars with?

Blacked-out grills on SG is massively full of win. It's also the only color I really like black wheels on.

Question re: Matte Black

Does anyone know how they got the white outline? And are these VMR wheels?
