Pick my wheel color! [Silverstone Metallic II]

I'm undecided between gloss black and a dark bronze for the M5. I'm open suggestions and will post pics once I powder coat them.

Thanks!

Going on something like this

Hey mate, so here's the deal. I got my car a month ago and since then I've had both the silver and black 437 wheels. Car originally came with silver. I couldn't wait to get the black and did. They look awesome on Silverstone. Black is my vote.

Keep 'em as is is my vote. Your M5 looks elegant and classy that way.

IMO, powder coating a single colour in black looks cheap. The black 437M look so good because of the two tone aspect (polished wheel faces with a smoked clear coat with gloss black painted inner faces).

I guess the 3rd option is to keep them as is and retain that sleeper look. It has dp's and a little extra boost

Every cheap car on the road today has black wheels. Keep it as is. It looks fantastic. M5 doesn't need a gimmick to look good.

My comp pack M3 has silver with a light gray offset. Looks fantastic.

I love the look of black rims. I had gone with satin black on my E92 M3. It wasn't glossy and it wasn't matte. For me, it was the perfect mix.

I would choose something more standoutish. Way too many people choose the typical white or black it's too boring. You have an M5, there isn't a problem putting your car more out there especially because the F10 M5s are now pretty much gone from production.

Go with a type of bronze color. So probably matte bronze would kind of be my pick.

I am not a fan of these wheels on the M5. I would just leave them as is or upgrade the wheels

Didn't say that. You must be a democrat lol. I said the trend is going to black wheels across the board. Every new car, regardless of the price, is rolling around on black wheels. It doesn't mean your new ZCP will look cheap. I just made the decision NOT to get black wheels when I ordered my 2017 ZCP because I felt there were too many of them on the road.

I'm sure your new car will look very nice.

Your comp 666M wheels must have cost loads of money?? A true one off

My CP 666M are just silver. Most with the exception of the unique 666M as described above - are just silver. Or now black.

I go with Alvin. I have a set of Apex gunmetal gray wheels enroute for my YMB. Tired of my gloss black 19" and too common now days. Plus I think that gunmetal color looks much "richer".

Satin black is sexy on silver stone and still elegant. Also ties in with the black moldings and any future CF parts you do.

Yep, I always admired your setup

This is what got me started on the bronze kick:
