From the photos they look exactly the same! How about going completely different and go for a shade of bronze or gold? Or to be more subtle gunmetal grey?x-driver wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 10:09 pm Picking up an old tread.
I'm about to have my MV3s refurbished. But I'm not sure which colour to go, light or a bit darker.
Besides I'm also thinking of other wheels, the MV3s are ok but a bit boring. However there are very few 18"s that I like. I decided not to go 19".
Any suggestions are welcome
On my Z4 I've had 2 different sets of MV3s, one of lighter colour (I borrowed this set for a test) and the current one that seems a tiny bit darker than the other one. Should I go for a lighter colour, the same or even darker colour?

Both sets compared (the lighter one is on E90 and is in the shadow in the picture)

It's hard to get the difference in a picture. But it can be seen live.Silverstar wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 11:22 pm From the photos they look exactly the same! How about going completely different and go for a shade of bronze or gold? Or to be more subtle gunmetal grey?
I really can't decide which looks better on particularly my car. Light and shiny or darker grey. Dirty wheels get dark anyway and from a few steps away they don't look bad. But when they are clean, they don't look bad again
Here's a picture with test set (light), but the colour here is not real, it's shown too bright. But doesn't look bad again. (Don't mind the circumstances, there was some work to do while wainting for import documentation )

Personally I think a Z4 looks best with silver wheels. Mine was Montego Blue with Gunmetal wheels, I was never happy and bought a cheap set of silver wheels and tyres which I prefer, at present I have kept the originals because it’s easy to scuff the rims and when I sell the car I will have a good set to go on it.
