Which color of wheels for a monaco blue E90?

Grendalf · 08-19-2009, 10:12 PM

I always loved matte black wheels on light blue car but with this darker blue I really don't know what could look good other than silver/chrome.

Thoughts or photos?

stick to a hyper-silver its the best choice imo for a monaco blue

TXSurfer · 08-19-2009, 10:24 PM

gunmetal

it depends how the rest of your car is. I had a hard time choosing wheels for my car, cause everyone was telling me to stick with silver. I'd say stick to silver if you want to retain the classiness. I went with gunmetal (search for my threads) and couldn't be happier. It worked well with my matte black grilles and mtech diffuser.

Here's a reference photo of a Hyper Silver V710 on a Monaco Blue. IMO, I think Monaco blue is quite universal to wheel finishes. I haven't seen any finish that hasn't looked good.

Thank you guys! Finally, gunmetal is not too bad after all... Will play with photoshop this week-end.

I'm in the same boat as you, but I think I will go with matte black when the time comes.

Here's a quick photochop that Anthony from EAS did for me. Keep in mind that wheels will be a bit bigger and the car will sit lower in real life.

I'm in the same boat. Let us know what you decide and definitely post pics!

Stock = Hyper sliver

you will never get bored of silver, always a classic choice

I would say silver is the best color for monaco

If you go with something too dark, it gives it a murdered out look...which is fine if thats what you're going for, but if you are going for something classy, silver for sure.

Marcumac · 08-21-2009, 09:10 AM

A few more chops courtesy of Anthony @ EAS.

Gunmetal

Hyper Silver

anthony @ eas · 08-21-2009, 12:15 PM

I personally like the silver or gunmetal on the color.

JDLM · 08-21-2009, 12:21 PM

silver (or find someone to polish)

Craig@SupremePower · 08-21-2009, 12:32 PM

Grendalf · 08-21-2009, 04:28 PM
