Show me your White E89 and black wheel combo
Please...
Have made a few enquires for prices and it seems quite reasonable to have my current wheels redone in black. I know, its not everyones cuppa tea but we all have our own taste
Before I take the plunge and do the deed to my existing wheels was hoping to see some different variations including my current wheel type and see if its a better idea to source a new set of wheels entirely with a different style.
Here is the current wheels, was planning on Satin or a Matt black as opposed to gloss black

Re: Show me your White E89 and black wheel combo
Very interested in this thread as our recently acquired E89 has a few marks on the edges of the rims.I thought about going with a "dark silver/titanium" finish for the wheels to contrast with the white paintwork......also contemplating getting the 2 parts of the roof either wrapped or painted in matt/satin black.

I saw a Melbourne red with black roof recently including black wheels and it really looked good.
Any one any good at photo shop...

Not a white car but you get the gist... I think the 326m is a lovely wheel and you kind of lose the detail when done in black, so I had mine done in carbon grey with black inners (any excuse to post a pic up )

Re: Show me your White E89 and black wheel combo
I think that goes really well with your colour
I looked at some different shades at the wheel shop the weekend and am edging towards a non gloss finish but I really do like the black/white combo... I think am being called by the dark side...
Looking for whole car shots and close ups as above and below

Re: Show me your White E89 and black wheel combo
Hi,
Well I have high gloss black, with an silver fleck - look amazing with some polish and sun to bring the fleck out.
However.. they are an nightmare to keep looking good - so would recommend gloss on outer wheel - but mat or satin for the inner wheel.

+1 now that's
What have you done to the wing mirrors, is it a carbon cap or wrap?
Also notice the Sid indicators are tinted and debadged

Re: Show me your White E89 and black wheel combo
What are the carbon mirror caps like. Can you tell they're obviously caps? Was having a look at these to go with the rear carbon diffuser I have.
Also forgive my ignorance but what's a jb4?
Would be interested to see if you find an induction kit. I can't find one anywhere for mine.

Ah. Right so they're not the stick on ones. I'm guessing quite costly then too.
Looks good. Liking the roll hoops. But then I'm biased.
