LeMans Blue and Wheels

donlokiman · 05-20-2014, 02:44 PM

It is hard to get a wheel choice right.. I've got 193m on the car now. To go gunmetal or not.. If gunmetal is the choice will black kidneys and the shadow trim dull the car.. ATM the little chrome there is compliments the car. I've seen the 193m powder coated in gunmetal and its nice. 19 or 18 .. Baaaaaa! I'll end up never deciding.

What have you fellow LMB users gone with.

First world problems.

I think silver, gunmetal, or a polished rim would look nice. LMB is a tough color... black looks unfinished to me, unless the lip is polished.

These look sick

black!

Gunmetal.

Mine is stock M Sport rims (193). I like the classic look, can't justify to drop $2000+ on a new set of wheels/tires.

If money was no issue I would go with a gun metal linea Corsa 19s, or a 265s 18s.

Go with gunmetal! Definitely a good look with the performance grills as well.

I have Smoked Titanium MORR VS 8.2's on mine

i went silver w/polished lip. i think silver looks cleaner and gunmetal looks meaner. and im not a fan of black. theres no depth or detail to black wheels on our color, it just looks like a black blur. although i have seen a set of light hyperblack and they looked great on the car. in the sun they were a very light color and shined nice. in the shade/night time they looked darker. if you do that you can basically get both colors haha

Rays makes this color called diamond cut or something similar; its a darker shade of silver and plays nicely in different lighting conditions. I dont think there is a better choice of wheels than a set of 19" G25s in that color.

I went for cheaper option and fitted silver Rays Homura 2x7. Good match, but i like gun metal too. Black or bronze are a no-no for LMB, but would look sick on white.
