Black or Silver 359\'s

IHB · 02-09-2011, 11:49 PM

I'm getting new wheels in April. I have a lemans blue '11 E90 M3. Curious as to what people think? Matte Black or Silver 359M wheels.

Either...

Depends on the "look" you're after. Black looks badder, silver looks traditionally cleaner IMO. Both look great with your colour - tough choice!!

Raptor251 · 02-10-2011, 01:05 PM

polished on the blue looks nice, silver is clean and black looks ugly on the blue IMO

I think it was your blue e92 that I saw that makes me wanna get the black ones. If so what color blue is your car?

Monte Carlo, just a couple shades lighter than yours. The look would be pretty much the same under LeMans (great choice btw). Go for it!!!

you can do both but if you do black make sure your drop.

silver

It would look good either way, you can definitely see the design better with silver.

BLACK!

Black hides their beauty somewhat - that is the only downside. They look great on Mark's M though so I guess it depends on the color of the car. That said, I would go with silver and plan to. Great wheel - can't really go wrong with either.
