Wheel colour on a grey car

Post by Pondrew » Tue Nov 15, 2022 8:25 pm

Thanks everyone for the opinions and votes. After much deliberation, and I mean MUCH deliberation I have settled on these; 763M copies in satin black (I'm not a fan of black wheels but think they will suit my car). Shown on an F30 but it is grey!
Did some man maths and a small amount of white lies and they have been passed by the finance department ('er indoors)! :D

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Well, I hope they have a decent second hand value when you sell them in two weeks then. That looks gash :o

So did I, and so am I!
Just think they will look 'right' on my car. If it all goes pear-shaped I am a dab hand with spray paint! :D

As you say Pondrew, you can always have them resprayed silver :D
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

A very similar conversation was had with the 'finance department' this evening, TBH

She said "I thought you were selling that car".
Me "No I'm keeping it".
Her "until you change your mind next week".
Me "yeah whatever love. You want me to get some cheap Baileys?"
Her "it needs to be cheap; the money you waste on those bloody cars"
Got to love 'em, eh? :lol:

    I know its an E85 and its sterling grey, but my old Z4 with anthracite CSL reps I thought was a good mix.

    Not mineral grey, but Space grey.
    Silver just works best.

    OK. So eventually sorted. I know it's not a Z4 (it's much better :poke: ) but here is what I went for:

    Just catching up. I would have gone orbit grey.

    But looking at the pics, the black works for me too. At the end of the day, nothing matters as long as you like it.
