Darker wheel color for JB?

MaxL · 06-26-2010, 10:36 AM

I am considering RAC Monolite or similarly looking wheels for my jet black E90, and I really wanted to try a darker color. Which ones would look the best? I'm going for a non-flashy slightly aggressive look. What about hyper-black or anthracite? Or maybe matte black?

Pictures on the forum really don't tell the story - for example, hyper-black looks like silver on many of them, but that's not the case in real life.

Also, it's unlikely that I get RACs at a decent price at this time (missed group buy) so what are other options to consider?

There are a few similar style wheels that you could get for less $$$. Alufelgen being one, along with a few other options. Anthracite would look good if you like a darker look without having that all black "murdered" thing going. I like my car with my OEM 18s (the original color) and that is close to anthracite. Gunmetal is another option. Varies by wheel mfg so search around for pics.
