Keep the BBS or go with Black ZCP wheels?

Any opinions ? Also considered refinishing the BBS a different color

I don't like black wheels on a black car. You just can't see them. I would get them redone in a graphite or hypersilver. They're nice wheels -- show them off!

As an aside, I'd lose those decals.

I used to love black wheels but I agree w/ dparm; not enough contrast to show them off on a car that's black as well.

ZCP, but personally I like the 220 wheels on the other M3 more than any other stock e9x wheel.

my .02...Refinish the BBS wheels with polished lips and "brushed dark clear" or gun metal colored faces. It would look awesome.

nothing beats ZCP on E9x M3 wheel in terms of looks....however Black looks agressive but hides the styling of the wheel; HyperSilver just shows off the wheel design much better than any combo out there....I personally ended up poweder coating my ZCP wheels to Gunmetal as a compromise!!

Go to the Wheels forum in the BBS thread for inspiration...You'll see plenty of polished lips and anthracite/dark brushed clear faces.

Here's the RS-GT finished similar to what I described.

If I saw your car out and about AS IT SITS, I would say, "Beautiful car!"

Opinions are like @ssholes...everybody has one. Do what makes YOU happy. I like ZCP wheels too but it will be such a minor appearance change if you stay with black on a black car. If you want to go ZCP then either go silver or gun metal. Personally I'd keep your current wheels and refinish them to a color you like.
