Advise on Alloy Colours for MV2’s

[V8rumbler]

I am having my MV2’s refurbed & power coated .
My car is Silbergrau & my interior is Red .
Any suggestions???
I have a hankering for Bronze but I can’t find any pics of any brand of cars in my sort of colour with Bronze Wheels.

Personally I think you have quite a clear silver and black theme there, with the red interior being far enough from the wheels to not impact on that.
For me, bronze would be adding an extra colour to the scheme and look a bit 'busy'?
I quite like the original colour on that car, however I assume you want a change?
Black would go well with the roof and hard top but the trouble is it can make the tyres look very grey if you're not constantly cleaning them.
So maybe something like gunmetal, shadow chrome?

I actually like the silver that you have on your silbergrau paint. The reason I changed from silver to black is because stock silver was so similar to my titanium silver paint (and I was channeling my inner lego batman when deciding the colour of my wheels):





I agree with the comment above that bronze may make it look a bit busy. Also bronze tends to work best on black cars IMO.

Here are a couple of pics to show the idea

Gunmetal or graphite will clash with the body colour, gloss black will contrast, but not to everyone’s taste, for me shadow chrome

I had a set of wheels for my Silver Grey Z4 refurbed earlier this year and was really tempted to go for Shadow Chrome.

But I stuck with Glitter Silver because it's a colour the refurber could repeat and match. Shadow Chrome apparently involves a coat of black and one of silver so if you kerb one wheel they can't guarantee a colour match, so you'd need to get at least 2 wheels redone. And I just knew if I went for Shadow Chrome I'd get kerb rash within a couple of weeks - I'm lucky like that!

I have a set of black MV2's on mine. It definitely is a personal preference thing as people say here. I'm leaning heavily into the black theme with mine.
Obviously my car is Maldives blue but hopefully seeing the actual MV2 in black will help.

I really like the idea of copper you said though. As far as I'm aware the cupra comes with copper trim so maybe Google the car just to compare to the BMW someone posted.

I'd keep them factory colour.

I have the same, silver grey and red interior. My wheels are slightly darker than OEM however don’t clash with the body colour and importantly to my keep the contrast with the tyres.

Thanks for all the replies. I am no nearer to making a decision
It does seem a tough one.
I definitely do not want black or grey .
That leaves silver oem ish with a bit more sparkle OR the brave choice of bronze/copper

I like the original silver... It just works

They are my favourite bmw wheels btw, I have the same on my Z4 and my older 320d sport. They are just classic..
