Went for a little photoshoot in my mineral grey 2er

Coins · 05-03-2018, 01:29 AM

Forgot to get my good camera and the weather wasn't so good but we found a good spot so we decided to stop and take a few pics

I'm thinking of painting my wheels but I don't know which colour. Any suggestions?

I love the wheels as is, which wheels are those?

The thing I hate most about my on-order 230ix is the wheels, it comes with the bright allow 461m which I like the 461m in pretty much any other color than the bright with Mineral Grey. Ferric would have been a million times better so I'll have to watch for some 18" wheels in the classifieds or just get some VMR V801s.

Hi man, Thanks a lot

Theyre M4 style wheels

I think the M2 and M3 also came with the same wheels for MY 16.

Do you think painting them bronze will look good?

I think bronze would look really good. Either that or a gunmetal/anthracite color lighter than Mg.

But it does look great the way it sits!

Those aren't 437 reps, they look close but they're not. (I have the reps

)

Oh dear god...
I just went digging around and comparing my wheels to the 437m and you are right!!! They're not the same.

I got my wheels installed by the dealer so they are an original BMW part but I cant find it anywhere.

Mr Carrots · 05-04-2018, 10:40 AM

They look good, so dont stress it lol.. but I'd like to know what they are too now

Coins · 07-10-2018, 03:16 AM

I finally found out which wheels they are!!

BMW 461m in silver with a few bits masked and then the wheel painted in gloss black paint

very creative, really changes the look of those stock wheels.

KPT2 · 07-16-2018, 09:02 PM

I think the wheels look better than the 437s
