From what I can tell they will be a much darker grey then the current wheels, very excited to be able to get a darker wheel without having to order the m performance 19"s

Thanks for posting the pic, but those are two tone (orbit grey/burnished) wheels (which I do happen to like a lot). But, based on the black and white photos in the 2016 235 order guide, it looks the entire wheel will be orbit grey. I do like the idea of a darker colored wheel, but I'm ordering a black metallic car, and am not quite sure how wheels that are 100% orbit grey will look with that paint color. Any one have any thoughts? Thanks.

cheers thanks - this is the only thing making me regret not waiting for the 2016 model cause I think it would look super sharp with dark wheels but I guess I saved some money on the lower MSRP since I didnt get the premium package

I just saw a picture from BMW but I can't post it yet. But is just like the color in the rear OEM diffuser.
BMW actually offer that wheel color option in other vehicles like the optional 19" wheels on some X5 models. It's hard to compare cause they use the Orbit Grey color with brushed Aluminum in the X5 19" wheels. Looks pretty dark but I think it's gonna look awesome on a Alpine or Mineral White car. |

I know! But they advertise those wheels as Orbit Grey. I think it depends on the angle of the picture. Will see...

Still have not been able to find a color photo of the Orbit Grey wheels that are optional on the '16 235. We ordered our black vert with standard black top with these wheels sight unseen, and still have time to change the order. Anybody come across a photo yet?
