Sparkling Graphite Owners with oem 18"

Subw00er · 04-14-2009, 01:54 PM

How close in color is Sparkling Graphite to the 18" rims color? I dont have a chance to see one in person, but from pics it looks dead on.

Slightly off, wheels are grayer than the body.

here's mine OEM 18" and my gunmetal 19" VMR V710's. Quite a good match if you ask me. I like it: )

I am getting the same wheels except in polished aluminum. I am thinking about the Dinan springs as well. The drop looks perfect to me, not low rider at all.

How is the ride compared to stock? Do you bounce more and is it jolty or washborn at all?

I would love to do the drop but don't want to compromise ride quality.

Yeah the OEM 18"s that we had on our E92 M3 looked pretty much identical to the paint, but in certain lights it's different.

Gunmetal V710s on Sparkling Graphite looks amazing though
