I'm thinking B or C. But if you want to really get classy, you should match the wheel color with the roll bar covers and splitters.

i'd keep it stock. painted wheels just remind me of ricers. painted wheels for track days are ok but daily driving is not for me. each person have their own taste. thats just my opinion

yes i understand it is not a popular color. People think it would work better on the 7 series. I like the color because it was one of the few that really showed the lines of the car. I looked at red, blue and black. I also looked at gray and it too showed the lines well but I dont like gray for some reason. I couldnt find an Alpine white one which would have been cool so voila i got the OS. I like it. Also for your information the color does come on the 7.

OK OK its all subjective, but objectively I do not think this poll is useful, because you cannot see the problem with the wheel and exterior color combo from the pictures. The actual problem is that the OEM wheels, in lack of better words, "out-shine" the orion silver color... you just cant see that from the pictures shown here. From the pictures I want to vote A, but I think, IRL, I would prefer B or C... |

The reason I voted stock is that I've found that is that the paint owners apply will chip and peel and really cheapen the look of the car.
If you are going to change the color, powdercoat them and put on a clearcoat to make it look OEM. Check out a 911 with the factory black wheel option. That's a great look. |

Having had 2 cars with Coral Red interiors, I don't think it is orangey at all. I liked the color so much that my sofas are the same color

I choose 'F' because they look great and notice that high-end cars like the McLaren 12C have that option for darkened wheels. Stock is alright but just too plain-vanilla for me. Anything in between ('B' to 'E') appears more like the wheels are dirty.
EDIT: this is assuming that the paint won't wear off the wheels, or else it'll look nasty. GL w/ your choice. |
