CatchM3 Carbon Fiber Mesh 8

Should I get Carbon Fiber centers on my Mesh 8's?
  • Yes! Do it!
  • No! Don't do it!

Here is a sample of what it may look like. I also took the liberty of darkening the side-view mirror also.

Thanks for all you feedback.

Don't buy anything from 360 Forged, ever, ever, ever. You may have had good luck from them in the past, but I believe they have not changed since they came under new managment. I will have a whole story to post shortly...

If you wanna wait a little, I will be posting my 360 forged mesh 8 carbon fiber centers in a few days. Im waiting to finish my calipers which is taking longer than i thought. BTW mesh 8 in CF looks amazing in person.

I was actually at 360 yesterday and i saw a few in person also. They do look nice but curious to see what you think of them on my car. I'm torn between the two looks. I like them both equally.

I have a e93 Space Gray m3 and look good especially when the sun hits it. Its personal preference. Im going the CF look everywhere so Im very happy with them. I think they will look good but the ones you have also look good! I can see why its tough

Yooo....I think it looks super clean the way it is now! But I dont think it would look to bad with the CF either.

Good feedback folks! Thanks for the input.

I'm leaning toward opting out on this idea. Some of you brought up some good points.

The CF overlays have to be the dumbest fad ever. I doubt they'll last more than a few months.
