What wheel color?

pkarlzzon · 06-12-2018, 07:19 AM

I'm getting my new BMW M240i, Black Sapphire in a week or two!
personally I think wheels are the most important thing/mod to start with.
I know what wheels I want, but I don't know what color/finish I want.
Atm I own a bmw 430ix GC, blacked out, with matte black wheels.
The wheels I'm buying are Zito ZF01, either matte gun metall, gloss black, or hyper silver. Which one of these would you prefer seeing?
Thanks!

hyper silver would be a good contrast to black.

bimmerfile · 06-12-2018, 08:31 AM

Gloss black wheels, dark window tint, //M style dual slate gloss black grills, replacement black mirror caps would give your M240i a great look (IMO)..

Silver

I agree 100%. Rims and colour of rims make the car. That's a tough one. Gunmetal or silver. Gunmetal/black give the car a more aggressive look. Silver give the car a more classy look. Depends what you are going for. My opinion.

If I had black, it would be the silver, without question. I wish I was as sure about what I should pair with my Mineral Grey 228

^ This

If it was me, I'd take a hard look at the polished finish in silver, especially if Zito clear-coats it.

I'm a big fan of black wheels regardless of the car color. It's so nice not to have to clean them! These are 19" BMW 359Ms.

Gun metal looks great on black, OP.

Another vote for silver, but I am biased.

These are 19" BBS CH-R in Brilliantsilber (Bright Silver). Supposedly, this finish from BBS is very complicated to create and involves several steps like a special silver base coat, then a powder coat, then a clear coat to achieve the final look. The end result is a beautiful, shimmering type of silver painted finish that creates a nice holographic effect with the words, "Motorsport" in the center of the wheel. Sadly, these details do not show up in the pictures.

god forbid you different from every other BMW out there

I love the looks of the brushed golden-ish 17" wheels on WRXs/EVOs, but wouldn't belong to a 2 series.

For a 2 series I like charcoal like the standard 436M... silver on black like the exclusive 19" M Performance is really cool, but I have seen some cases where the combo didn't quite match the car.

MsportyX35 · 06-21-2018, 08:39 PM

I’ve decided on Hyper Black in the upcoming APEX group buy. I think they’d look great on black, but the Matte Bronze could would really grab attention. Depends on what your going for. Check them both out here https://www.gangup.com/apex/apex-18-...s-q3-2018.html
