AW E9X on Gunmetal Wheels Anyone?

Krozi · 04-03-2012, 09:43 AM

I picked up some OEM silver ZCP wheels not too long ago and would like to get them powdercoated gloss gunmetal.

You guys got any pics of gunmetal wheels? Preferably ZCP wheels on Alpine White!

Thanks!

Found these browsing, anyone got any more?

Those wheels/color combination looks awesome. I too would like to see a gunmetal 359 on a lighter color M3 like SS or AW. Does anyone know whether this particular car came with the comp package? I ask because it looks like it sits a little higher than the ZCP cars I've seen in photos.

It has the pre-LCI tailights so this isn't a ZCP.
Good eye

Are the rim widths equal front/rear too?

This certainly does look good...!

I was thinking about getting my ZCP wheels finished that way, from the factory but the dealer never managed to come back to me on that question.

Tempting.

The wheels are staggered, not square

I found another pic that I really like....makes me 99% sure I want gunmetal.

Wow, that's one of the best looking M3s I have ever seen ..... but then again, I'm bias since that's my car!!!

Seems like you guys have already answered all the questions ..... Yes, the car does not have a competition package and yes, the wheels are staggered.

Good looking car buddy

Is that a satin finish on the wheel?

It's a gloss finish, but not too glossy.

Makes me 100% sure you should get gun metal. That looks amazing. I even like the beige interior there, and I don't like beige.

Haha yea I'm pretty much set on the gunmetal. Just got back from the local powdercoater to discuss colors

anthony @ eas · 04-09-2012, 02:52 PM

These are very close to gunmetal, but the actual color is called "Umbra Grey" according to the owner. Still, it gives you an idea.

Thanks for sharing Anthony!

Dark gunmetal or gunmetal is the only way I'd go on white.

Yea I used to have black wheels only...but I'm kinda getting tired of it....still like the white on black look, but just looking for something new

Blindside_137 · 04-09-2012, 04:26 PM

I still like the black and white look also, but imo i think It's just a bit too much contrast. But white and gunmetal offers just enough

can't wait to see them

Krozi · 04-13-2012, 02:07 PM

Any more? Still making up my mind LOL

Bob MG · 04-14-2012, 06:09 AM

IMO dont paint the ZCP wheels

If you want gunmetal go after market

Also gunmetal on SG looks lost. I considered it as I have GM on my X6M and GT2 and I think I'm over it now.
