New member & Need opinion on wheel color!

Wikd M3 · Sat, Dec-12-2009, 04:11:21 AM

Hey guys,
Iv had my M for two months and so far have done flat black kidney/front, Eagle Eyes, smoked corners + side markers and the CSL reps and drilled front rotors were on it when I bought it. I feel like something needs to be done to the wheels paint wise to match the rest of the car. I can't decide whether to go matte black or gunmetal. What do you think? I know I'll get a few comments about lowering it, so let me say that H&R springs are on the way (only temporary until I get enough for coilovers

). Also have a Borla exhaust and RT on the way.

Only problems with the car so far are that the nav screen randomly flickers on and off when it's cold out(see topic: http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=286087) and the SMG pump going out. Luckily I purchased an extended warranty through easy care and they covered the full cost, props to easycare

! Other than that, I freakin love this car!

Sorry for the bad quality iphone pics, will take some more with the d50 when the rain stops.

Welcome to the forum m8!

You can't go wrong with either of those colors on CB!

that thread might help you a bit as there's some color contrasts, although the two black M's there are e92s, was looking for the eas showroom thread for CSL reps but.. didnt find it.

I actually prefer the CSL reps or ZCPs that you already have on the car. Matte black will definitely be an entire blacked out look, but too dark for my liking. The wheels you have on now just make the car pop a little more. My 2 cents

Plus you could spend the money elsewhere then..
