white wheels with Brooklyn gray?

Has anyone seen white wheels with Brooklyn Gray? I’ve been searching for photos with this combination and tried to do some photo edits but couldn’t produce a good result.

If you guys have pictures or Brooklyn gray with white wheels please share or maybe someone can photoshop just to see how this compilation looks?

What are your opinions?

That’s an interesting question. To my own taste , Brooklyn grey would be my last choice for that pairing but the rest of colors especially Alpine white I think works easily.
My taste would be a polished or matte black look with the grey. But go for it . You can always repaint the wheels a different color if you don’t like it.

Thanks for uplifting the idea. I really appreciate it. Black wheels hide the details and getting after-market wheels in black forces me to stay with stock ones because black doesn't show the details.

I found this render on insta and tried to edit the color. That's the best I could do. The original color of pic was ZB but here is it

TBH I think with a front splitter, lowering kit, and a nice set of wheels, white would look great on BG.

I would suggest getting creative and try and find a rep for a company like Vossen or other manufacturer who will do a computer rendering. My gut tells me a number of colors would look great with BG. Here is mine with merlot colored rims.

I'm only chiming in because you explicitly sought feedback but I would never consider white wheels.

That said, I'd also never wear a Kangol but Samuel L. Jackson looks cool as shit in one. So, even though white wheels aren't for me, maybe that's exactly the look/vibe you're going for and can pull it off.

Ultimately, it's your car and if a mod makes you grin, who cares what I or anybody else thinks.

I think white wheels would look great. I had a set of white Volk TE37 on my Suzuka Blue Honda S2000 back in the day. Eventually I wrapped the car British racing green, but I actually always liked the white wheels on light blue body paint. I say go for it. My one thing is that I personally think white wheels work best with a low spoke design wheel.

Only if you add white dice to the rear view mirror.

Who you trying to please?

I've seen white wheels on a number of cars. In some cases the white wheels look very nice. Other cases...

Grey cars with white wheels don't send chills up my spine but whatever floats your boat...

You might be able to get a picture of a BG M2 with white wheels at Tirerack if you shop wheels and select white ones.

Uh, no. Tirerack has no pic of a 2023 M2. But you might select a 230i in BG or some other BMW model. (I tried but Tirerack was had me locked into a 2023 M2 and I was unable to change the vehicle.)

I don't love the white on grey. But it looks a lot better than the bronze on grey I keep seeing. IMO bronze shouldn't go on anything but white, black, or dark blue (not zandvoort).

From a practical standpoint the brake dust is so bad that would be a maintenance nightmare. Now if BMW had Porsche's tungsten carbide Surface Coated rotors it would not be bad.

True. Not necessarily going to do this. I was just exploring the idea.

Not that hard to picture ZB as BG. I think a set of white TEs on a BG car with some carbon pieces will set it off.

I'm doing white wheels on my White G87

if you're gonna pull it off with Brooklyn Grey, make sure you lower it, and add some other touches to give it that motorsport feel.

My friend had a Nardo GT3 on white wheels. It worked well
