Best Color Wheel?...On Space Gray...

PhilT3 · 08-18-2014, 05:48 PM

So, just as the title states...thoughts on the best color wheel for Space Gray?

I opted for the black 343's for the contrast. I have a Space Gray X5 with the polished/two-tone 336 wheels (same finish as the polished/two tone 343's). And I feel sometimes they kinda get 'lost' as they have a similar shade/hue to the Space Gray paint... not enough contrast to 'pop'.

And there aren't many photos out there of Space Gray M5's with different color wheels.

Thanks.

If it was me, I'd do bronze. IND did a project car with bronze on space and it was absolutely sick. Still one of the best looks IMHO.

Funny you say that... Gloss bronze is my favorite. Though, can't get the wife on board with it. Ultimately, I can do whatever I want to my cars... but I prefer for her to like my mods.

I think there are a few that look good, here is a subtle look we did a while back on an M5..

Velos Solo V Forged Wheel
Hand Brushed Finish w/ Tinted Clear

I agree it was rather "bland" . Let me know if you have anything in mind we can do any finish if needed.
