Black wheels on space gray?

dvno · 01-16-2012, 09:11 AM

Trying to get some help visualizing this as I'm leaning toward getting some new shoes for my 1er. I like the idea of OEM, specifically the style 182 wheels in black. Any help would be appreciated!

I have 2010 with the sport package if that helps!

This is what "sport titanium" 18" Alufelgens look like on space gray, just FYI. You might want to consider something like this rather than the contrast of the black wheels. They're darker than silver and don't show the brake dust as much.

^ i agree, that's a good color choice for space grey.

Looking good roundel335!!

These are not OEM style, but they might give you the right idea on the color contrast. These are 19" VMR v701's in matte black.

Looks great. I would definitely do black or matte black if it was my car

Many black wheels in the official space gray thread:
