wheels on BMW, what looks better?

[Herr Flick]

right what is preferred??
standard silver or shadow chrome? poll?

or shadow chrome??

 

[Gaz.]

Wheels are the wrong shape for shadow chrome IMO.

 

[ForceIndia]

I'm with Gaz, completely wrong wheel for shadow. Looks terrible.

 

[Jon.G]

Silver all the way.

 

[Bluebeard]

Just looks like you haven't cleaned it.

Do them the brightest silver you can, just so they look really clean.

 

[Herr Flick]

yeh thats what i thought. just wanted to see if it was just me as nobody else has seen them yet!

 

[Herr Flick]

may do a special hyper silver mix next then.

 

[Gaz.]

Flash chrome would of been better if you really had to have a finish like that, but still the shape is terrible for it. Those sort of finishes suit flatter spokes, such as the CSL wheels.

 

[Sir_Dave]

BMW's shoud be left standard.

Otherwise you will look like a small time asian supermarket owner.

Imho of course.

i agree. the main reason i did them is because one of my lads hasnt had any pratice with this finish (hard as fook) so i thought as they needed a refurb! lol

IF i keep the car, i will buy some csl reps for it or similar.

haha true but i cant seem to keep any of my cars standard for long as i like doing bits to it. i will do them another silver if i get another chance.

Needs beaded seat covers, to pull off the shadow chrome look...

 

[Englebert]

Doesn't work as shadow chrome. In fact, anything resembling anthracite just looks dirty.

CSL wheels FTW... otherwise go for bright silver. I always ask for the same finish as Mercedes wheels, as i believe they have the most metallic flakes in.

 

[Herr Flick]

Moondust silver (ford) Is the most metallicy colour I use for alloys 99% of the time!

My favourite silver is the audi colour used on most new s line models which is called chrome/german fx.

 

[Coby.]

Definitely just a nice clean bright silver for me.

 

[DazG]

I had my MV1's on my 325ci refurbed when I first bought it...

They were slightly brighter than the standard colour, come up really nice when cleaned.

 

[Jewson172]

Standerd silver.

 

[Ali]

Silver.

 

[Christopher]

Bright silver.

SH looks awful!

 

[Jcs]

silver. Shaddow chrome on those just looks like their dirty imo?

 

[Vish]

Looks just like mine.

Bright silver all the way!

CCW Classics. Do it.

 

[Ian_182]

Standard colour for me or maybe a bit more shinny...

 

[jesus]

Silver.
