Dravit Grey & my conundrum of wheel color 😒
I’m abosutely in love w/ the Dravit Grey color of my ‘26 XM Label but it now that time where all XM owners come to and that’s to upgrade the major eye sore which is the OEM wheels on it.
Most individuals would say black wheels look the best on Dravit Grey and I would agree but with all the black gloss trim on the XM I tend to beleive the design of the wheels will get lost with so much black. The other option people say is a bronze color to pull the gold flakes out of the paint when it is in direct sunlight. The outside of the box options I’ve been weighing are two piece wheels w/ like a brass lip & a black face or a gunmetal/Anthracite finish 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just wanted to take a pulse on the communities opinions on what you guys would recommend.

The best options are bronze/Gold or Black OEM wheels 826M imo
I have DG on M3 and went with 826M blacks. Perfect combo. Brake dust make the blacks look browner frequently though so will need to change out oem brake pads to eliminate that issue. |

nothing looks good on gray except a two tone black/machined wheel, not just the lip, all the spokes like one of the factory bi color options, whichever is brightest, not the dull one.

I concur. I just mounted these, and I think they are subtle enough to not scream I'M GOOOOOOOOLLLLLDDD!

I ended up going with the 23” Vossen HF-7’s in the Anthracite (in Super Deep Concave Profiles)
Now I’m just waiting for them to be made Should look something similar to this set up but with a 1.5” lowering set up: |

Matte Powder Grey/Silver would look insane like you can get on the Porsche website builder. If you go too dark they get lost...lighter gives you more contrast.
If you like the more subtle look than darker anthracite "charcoal metallic" would look good. I went with a bronze forged set of Apex wheels for my IOMG and love the contrast. I change them up for summer and winter which is always nice when I make the change over to something different. Also I have seen Matte Black look good on Dravit |
