Gunmetal wheels?

brandontoscano · 10-18-2011, 11:24 AM

I'm looking to get some new wheels for my black e90. I'm kind of stuck between getting black or gunmetal wheels. For black wheels I was looking at Miro 111's or Linea Corse z2's, but I'm having trouble finding a good looking, somewhat affordable set of gunmetal wheels. Does anyone have any suggestions or pictures for my setup? Any input is appreciated.

What about the Miro 942 that is available in an Anthracite finish with a machine face? They are available in both 18's & 19's for your car. I can also help you out with the 111's as well.

Since you cannot PM me yet, you can email me at gerry@bavarianx.com for more info.

Can anyone comment on the quality of these rims? I have heard bad things about Miro wheels such paint pealing after a few years and they easily bend/scratch.

Those aren't bad, but I think I'm looking for something a little darker. I did look on your website though, and I liked the Avant Garde M368's. I'll just have to think about which ones I like best. But when I do decide to get a set, I'll make sure I hit you guys up first.

Yeah, it's a tough choice for me too. I'm leaning towards gunmetal right now, but either way I'm sure it would look nice.

You could also take a look at the Avant Garde M310 in Dolphin Grey, which is more lik a gunmetal color or get them in matte black.

Vortex LeMans-R wheels in gunmetal.

The Avant Garde M341 wheels have been discontinued for quite some time and are actually no longer available. If you're looking for a full face wheel, you may want to check out the Avant Garde M310 wheels in Matte Gunmetal!

The best part of GM wheels on black is that as they get dirty they look more matte black. They just always look good.

The AG M310 Matte Gunmetal and Dolphin Grey are the same. We call it Matte Gunmetal as it's a better description of the actual finish of the wheel!
