    yes but not black... i would go Bronze/Gold before black... black/black is so played out... if you had a lighter car i would suggest it.

    I say do them in black or graphite. I did my WRX wheels in graphite and I love them. I originally did them in Gold, but it got old after a couple weeks.

    Gold or black would look better than stock in my opinion. Are either well received by other bimmer tuners? Not that it really matters, just wondering.

    how does that saying go? once you go black....you never go back.....lol


    personally, black looks great, hides brake dust, and gives the car a track/racecar type look.

    Silver or white for k1's. White ones look great on Bimmers. Are they still in production though? I heard they had stopped making them.

    well I'm not a fan of white due to having to cleanthe wheels every other day.

    I will like to see a flat back the black from one of the photoshops it looks interesting... But I think flat black will look even better.



    that is an old pic I hope it works better.

    Honestly, IMO, get new silver wheels, like the ones on the red E46 M3...even if they are knock offs.
    Flat blk on a BMW is just wrong, gold is suby styled, and everything else other than anthracite is trying too hard. Usually painted wheels are a bad idea FWIW, and nothing looks better than new wheels, even if they arent $1K per wheel.

    Someone try a dark gunmetal maybe that will bring it together. Not exactly black but not silver either. I think it would be nice.
