What rims does who have?

Man you guys have some pretty dope rides. Keep pics coming. I am liking the guys with the 50%-28% range. So torn.

If you all have side shots, please be sure to post because some of the angles may look deceiving.

Bart@AUTOcouture · 02-13-2011, 10:09 AM

Here's a couple different angles and daytime/nighttime of my 15% tint. I'm just trying to show that depending on the lighting and angles it sometimes appears very dark, and at other times not so dark.

NYCMCBM3 · 02-13-2011, 01:17 PM

what are f1 and ceramic tint?

tomob63 · 02-13-2011, 02:06 PM

very helpful thread. Still on fence between 35 and 50, but leaning on 50% for my AW E90

michelley91 · 02-13-2011, 02:13 PM

huper optik 30% on jet black

frybird57 · 02-20-2011, 06:19 PM

SunTek CarbonXP 35% all the way around.

white9duece · 02-21-2011, 04:26 PM

20% all around is clean!

Bomis · 02-21-2011, 04:32 PM

35% looks perfect to me on my interlagos blue M, thats my choice!

dealerships just farm it out

thanx, having a darker/black interior helps make the tint look a little darker at certain angles...

I like geneatals tint choice.

mkPOTO · 04-04-2011, 10:52 AM

i should have pics of 20 all around and 50 on front windows tomorrow

VonSwoopington · 04-06-2011, 10:39 AM

Great thread! I'm looking to get my tints done this month as well. VA state requires 50 front and 35 back though

. I might try to get away with 35-40 all around on Jerez Black.

Do you guys with the sedans use any protectors for the tint? I hear the tint gets pretty scratched up over time.

mot · 04-08-2011, 07:57 PM

I plan on tinting the front a little darker (35%). Right now, I believe the rears are 20% and the fronts at 70%+. I would like to see some pictures of 20% rear and 35% front on an e92. Thanks!

Different angle:

J08M3 · 04-08-2011, 08:04 PM

I did 50% all around on my AW. Way better than dark tint. However I'm debating whether to tint at all on my new JB. Probably doing 70% all around.

I feel the sun burning me with 70% in the front. I'm quite pale.

///m325i · 04-10-2011, 07:09 PM

if you want a light casual tint i would get a 40-50%
