I know a lot of people don’t like black wheels, especially on black cars, but for those of us that do….let’s celebrate!

Post pic’s of your Zed’s (Black or not) with Black wheels for the enjoyment of the enlightened…. :poke:

Here’s my Filthy Sapphire black 3.0si with genuine 405M’s, piano black trim and Red leather interior. It really needs a wash :rofl:

Not true!
I like black wheels and I like black cars.
I just could not live with the constant faff of trying to stop the tyres looking grey between the wheel and the bodywork.

A car without 'back' wheels would be a bit of a pain tbh. :rofl:

A black wheel on the 'right' car is a joy to behold. I love 'em :wub: In fact I'm a bit of an addict :D
I've had MV3s on my E85 and have just last week changed to Style 162s, both in gloss black.

Not Z4s I know but I also have gloss black alloys (351s) on my current daily F11 5er and have had a 'few' other sets on family cars over the last few years too :D

Lovely work all :thumbsup:

The other thing is, I know these will all look even better in the metal as photo’s never look as good as in real life where black wheels are concerned.

I think that's the key issue from the armchair pundits critique..its very difficult to get the lighting right for a camera to capture a gloss black wheel and show the detaling. :tumbleweed:

Another good reason to get out of the armchair and use the thing! :thumbsup: :driving:
