Bronze 108's, what do you think?

Post by AveZ4coop » Thu May 24, 2018 7:27 am

I am getting a second set of BBS 108's for my montego blue Z4C for a set of winter tyres. They will require a refurb and am thinking of having them a dark bronze with a silver rim. I want something a bit different to the silver 108's I have my summer tyres on. It is either that or a dark gunmetal? Was wondering if anyone had pictures of these colour combinations so I can get a better idea of what they look like. I am cr@p with photo shop and my child-like attempts on paint don't really help. :oops:

Could look good providing its the right shade of bronze, gold/bronze wheels on blue is a classic combo.

I really wanted that matt bronze finish but decided on my silver car it would look pants, Blue / Cold is a classic combo though used to great effect on the Subarus and Clio Williams ..... also say a Performante the other day and that magnesium color is great too ...

Im tempted to get my csls done in bronze, saw this m3 on autotrader a while ago and thought it looked great on black/blue.
I think 108s would be good. if they are for winter they will be dirty most of the time anyway :rofl:

Thanks for your input. That M3 looks very tasty. my wheels arrive Tuesday, so still a bit of time to decide.

Am seriously considering that shade of bronze (M3 photo). Dark enough to not be confused with Scooby gold. Do I still keep the polished silver rim or do the whole wheel bronze. I love the Le-Mans Look (but can't afford a set of repro's), but not sure if a silver rim on a Bronze 108 will look like I imagine, or just look poop? All opinions gratefully recieved :attentionwhore:
