Wheel Suggestions

blschaefer1 · 07-11-2013, 01:07 PM

Hello - I am considering moving to a set of black wheels on my 2012 Alpine White 35i. I am currently running 19" 296 style on Pilot Super Super Sports, and wish to stay with 19".

Would appreciate any suggestions or photos for what others have done similarly.

Many thanks !

Get the 296 dipped black?

nicknaz · 07-11-2013, 04:10 PM

Those style 313 wheels look great on the Z if you want to keep it OEM

VailM3 · 07-11-2013, 05:17 PM

they are a good looking rim but horror stories about cracking, least with RFT. 326s if you can find a good set.

my opinion,

I dont believe that black wheels should be on a white car.
Contrast is too big.
Like a black tox and white sox.

anyways...to each is own.

Not a fan of black wheels at all on any color.

I am a big fan of mesh-type wheels on BMWs. I would look at the Alufelgen CS-7, Alufelgen SF-71, VMR 710s, or 359M replicas (e.g., Avante Garde). We went with Alufelgen CS-7s on our Alpine White 35i.

Here's a good illustration of what they look like on an Alpine White Z4:

Very nice set up.
I have the VRM710 midnight blue on my pearl white.

Thanks for the comments. For all of you black wheel haters, what do you think of these? Alufelgen SF71 in what they call Diamond Cut Black.

If those are the Alufelgen SF71's, the two-tone finishes are no longer available. Bummer.

Oh, thanks. Those look much better on your car than they do on the website !

tranquility · 07-12-2013, 05:13 PM

I respectfully disagree w/ some posters here. Black rims can look nice if done right, *esp* on a white car. All our silver rims are getting so ho-hum boring and everyone has them.

I like the color of your Z4 is that enhanced or wrapped? I was thinking to wrap my Z4 similar color.

vasmir · 07-14-2013, 01:52 AM

+1 for gunmetal rims on a white car

+2 for that blue color... that's hot

Beryl · 07-15-2013, 04:26 AM

IMHO, i am in love with flpnout car, with ac-schnitzer rims, even if there are dark parts :

otherwise here is mine : 313 performance BMW
