Great wheel and I'm sure the finish will look awesome! White works nicely with a gamut of finishes. I'm sure you'll appreciate the light weight and how handsome it is on the M3.

here is an old pic of mine with a darker shade more of a texture gunmetal. IMO if you have CF on your car it will flow with the CF.

Haha after seeing this picture, I realized it was a little too dark. Being that I don't have tints or a CF roof (only front lip is CF), they still may have gotten lost in the fold.

I decided to change the color to the same Battleship Grey that Biglare had on his P44SC's. I'm excited because I've only seen the color on one other set of P43's, and I think it will set it off perfectly. I don't usually change my mind and this was a very tough decision.

Glad you did that...b/c i was looking at the picture above thinking how that just doesn't look good with AW. Never has IMHO. I purchased a set of rims in that color and never mounted them b/c they just didn't look right with AW.

The battleship grey will look good...

Wheels came out of the oven! Color is different to say the least, can't tell if i'm 100% sold...

I purchased the black/silver HRE caps to help blend the colors - I wanted the carbon fiber caps but they were $150 each!!! No thank you

I also decided to go with Yoko AD08 Tires because I was itching to experience something other than the PSS's I had on my LMs.

Got them put on the car and felt better, but not sure if I can live with them all summer..... Full shoot to come, but for now just a quick snap:
