What colour alloys for Space Grey E89?

sunnydays · Post by **sunnydays** » Thu Jun 13, 2019 10:37 am

Hey all,

Currently in the process of trying to figure out whether to sell my 326M alloys and go aftermarket, or have them repainted.
I am a big fan of matt gunmetal grey alloys, but I am not sure how this would look against a space grey car.

Anyone got any pics of various colours against space grey?

Thanks!

All grey wheels against a grey car not for me

326s are a great wheel for the 89 but just a little plain & safe

when looking for shoes for my own space grey E89 i had a choice of 3 , i'm sure any of them would look great , i went with 789M style ones ,

the other 2 options being 795M style

or 669M style which aren't that different to 789s

Thanks Mr Wilks, both the 789M and 669M look like great alloys. How do you think the 763M alloys would look on the Z4, have you seen / done anything similar? Pic below:

Lighter silver the better.

Never black.

Ah I didn’t know that. I knew the guy I sold it to (Atomic IIRC) had sold it on but I didn’t know where.

Yeah I picked it up last October. It's been amazing, but will be back on the market shortly so I can scratch a porky itch

This gray is darker than the car but once they get a bit dusty they are a perfect match

Not you as well, it’s an itch I’m currently ignoring.... just!
