white car with black wheels, does this look right?

jasonle89 · 05-03-2015, 12:16 AM

I kinda feel something off. What you guys think?

.BMW. · 05-03-2015, 12:26 AM

I think black wheels looks great on white cars!

jasonle89 · 05-03-2015, 12:27 AM

i just plastic dip it earlier today, but maybe i'm not use to it yet

BMW UDM · 05-03-2015, 12:30 AM

What size wheels ? What coils ?

jasonle89 · 05-03-2015, 12:32 AM

19. Still have not lowered my car thou. But i think black wheels look better if it has thin spokes . Mine are kinda big

slownfast · 05-03-2015, 12:32 AM

are you going to take off the dip on your roundel?it looks fine, maybe that because you are not used to it. how many coats did you put for reach wheels? I am planning to dip mine but in graphite colors.

jasonle89 · 05-03-2015, 12:33 AM

mine is graphite color. From far away and with out the sun, it looks like black. Let me post up some photos under the sun. And i did 4 coats of black and 3 coats of graphite metalizer

Still thinking if i should take off the dip from the cap or just leave it like that

BMW UDM · 05-03-2015, 12:34 AM

I like the wheels. ACS coils would complete the package.

SonicEndeavor · 05-03-2015, 12:36 AM

Yeah, not a fan of black wheels on F10"s. IMO, gunmetal is about as dark as you should go. The closeup looks lighter than black though. Is it more of a dark gray?
Nice job on the plastidip!

BMW UDM · 05-03-2015, 12:36 AM

I'm getting close to installing the ACS coils and 20" Avant Garde black wheels. But considering plasti dipping the M Sport wheels black to see how it looks. Have yet to see anyone do this.

It's graphite metalizer. Maybe under the sun or during the day it would be more gray.

BMW UDM · 05-03-2015, 12:43 AM

Nice. F10 stock ride height distracts from the potential.

IMO 20" Avant Garde would look better than M Sport wheels. If i wasn't chicken out after hearing bmw said if anything wrong due to the aftermarket wheels (like..chassis...etc), they wouldn't cover it then i would have gone with 20" Avant Garde already

BMW UDM · 05-03-2015, 01:05 AM

It's interesting how taste changes. I'll sport the AG M310s for a bit and see how it feels. May go through several styles before settling in.

jasonle89 · 05-03-2015, 01:09 AM

That's normal lol

BMW UDM · 05-03-2015, 01:13 AM

This is my current trajectory.
