Alpine White E90...Black, Gunmetal, Matte Wheels? Which looks better?

kingflys · 11-17-2008, 01:38 PM

I'm looking to get some opinions from my fellow e90posters. I have a White E90 and want to get new wheels. Currently I'm running on OEMs. I'm considering getting some 19" Gunmental CSL style wheels.

My question which do you think looks better on a white e90? Black, gunmetal or matte finish wheels? Anyone have pics?

Thanks for the help guys! This is my first post!

hey buddy, welcome!

just do some searches for AW and i'm sure u can find many pictures that'll help.

obviously, it all comes down to preference/taste. there is not one opinion that is better or speaks for all.

good luck!

I'm doing the same thing. I've got a AW e90 that I'm going to throw some gunmetal CSLs on. Just can't decide between 18's or 19's.

White on polished face with chrome lip is what I'll probably be going with. If you keep an eye to the media section you'll see them pop up

matte black or gunmetal!

In my opinion a lot of colors can go with Alpine white. Silver works great, Gunmetal works great, as well as Matte black (my favorite works excellent with alpine white).

Though I don't have many pics of alpine white on a e90-e93 with these wheels, I do have a lot of other random BMW's (alpine white) with these wheels. Just take a look:

AW with Matte Black CSL wheels:

I hope that helps!

Thanks everyone for the help!

Now I've narrowed it down to hyperblack or gunmetal! i'm leaning more towards hyperblack csl reps
