Best color wheels for carbon black?

Joe5268 · 11-01-2014, 09:51 AM

Just like the title says. Looking for the best color wheels for carbon black. I was thinking of ferric gray in a matte finish. Keeping the standard 351M wheels. Thanks.

Gray or silver looks best.
I had gloss black ones, but since carbon black is more blue than black it did not look as I hoped.

Thanks. That is what I was thinking.

+ 1 for silver. If you want something a bit different opt for a brushed silver finish or brushed with a slight tint (powder coat)

this is my old Carbon Black M3 with gloss black VMR VB3's and my friends M3 with gunmetal gray VMR V710's.

don't go black, gray or silver looks good.

I would go gray personally. Black it blends too much.

Thanks guys. I agree black doesn't look great on the carbon black, will probably go with the gray.

Noggie - thanks for the photos, def helps!
