Dark wheels on a Silver 235? Black? Gunmetal? Anthracite?...
Hi,
I like the GS color but i find it more difficult to choose the right wheel color. What is your thought, experience on dark wheels on a Glacier Silver M235? Which color looks good/bad? I don't really like gloss black but matte/satin black looks good IMHO. What about anthracite/gunmetal or hyperblack? Please post your pics!!! Thanks!

Black wheels are so neutral that they won't clash with any color. Most 2-series have the gloss black window trim and grilles to match black wheels as well.
My car is mineral white but I can post pics if you'd like. Just don't want to clutter the thread. Edit: uploaded a few photos found on google plus user Regardless' car. Take a look at this thread: https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1125726

I would go gloss black or shiny silver. I have MG and satin black doesnt look great with all the shiny paint and trim IMO.
Here's a silver pic thread you could get ideas on. BTW few of us discovered the Titan 7 TS-5 08X 04-11 Forged wheels fit our F22/23. Bit more $$, but great price for forged @ $500 each. Black or titanium would look great https://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=952279 |

I agree with 4Hockey4 on the gloss vs satin. FWIW i had matte black wheels on my E92 and the way it looked with the gloss black trim, tinted windows, front grill, etc i would have gotten gloss black if i could go back and do it again.

Here's my inspiration (top, gloss black) vs. my car (bottom, satin black)
I personally prefer satin wheels for this design. However there are a lot of designs that will look better gloss, specifically some of the more angular, modern designs and all of the dual 5 spoke wheels.

How long will shiny black wheels look shiny when running the OEM pads – does anyone know?

Nice!
Did you use an aerosol can or an HVLP gun and compressor? Do you have to repair the paint after a tire change?
