I am starting to think that way but also fancy a change - just doing my nut in as I have never refurb alloys, normally just sell a car when it gets to that pointSilverstar wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 10:45 pmOn this point it would probably be best to keep the original wheels in the original colour.Ole gits rule wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 10:37 pmYep I agree - not certain what to do, I like ferric or shadow chrome but also like the OEM colour, bloody hard to decide as when I sell it will a change in wheel colour make it less likely to sell

437s (M4) look similar from a distance but are not 326s. Put a pig in a frock, it's still a pig! I also have 326s BTW!

Please do t put gold wheels on a white Z4 with red callipers.
Grey against red is always a winner and you can go a shade or two darker against a white car without loosing the definition of the wheel.
I’d go gunmetal. There’s also ferric grey which was used on BMW wheels before. Had them on our 3 series and they were good.

Ferric / gunmetal or OEM are my choices, got till 10ish to decide

Ferric do look good just don't think they will suit the 326. You will go for silver, you know you willOle gits rule wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 7:20 am Ferric / gunmetal or OEM are my choices, got till 10ish to decide

You are probably right - I don't mind a light grey but anthracite is too dark and every pic I see of gunmetal looks different so not certain as I do not want them too dark.Pondrew wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 9:17 amFerric do look good just don't think they will suit the 326.

Silver does suit the car and looked the mutts when I clean the car.

Thats the ones I was looking at on eBay to try and get a representative image - choices choices, was just typing out a message to the garage to stick with silver, now you got me thinking again
I think the ones on that silver zed are 326's as well - still like silver chrome but wants a lightish version

Going for blue callipers and struts at the front - thinking that OEM colour will work best, final comments welcome as I have till 16.00 to decide.
