Suggestion on wheel of color for my car

Dankim10 · 09-14-2006, 10:46 AM

I just ordered 19" HRE C20(Charcoal) 19x8.5, 19x9.5 for my car.:rocks:
You guys think Jet black will fit Charcoal? Or paint to black?

I have 3 days left to change my wheel color.

keep it the way it is.

Gitta · 09-14-2006, 12:19 PM

Charcoal should look nice on just about any color.

picus · 09-14-2006, 01:40 PM

Leave it - Charcoal will look sweet on black. Grats on the wheels btw, they are some of my favs.

Dankim10 · 09-14-2006, 07:04 PM

ok. Thanks for the recommendation.

sungmin · 09-14-2006, 09:03 PM

imo lighter shades of black (grey) doesnt go well with black cars. to me gunmetal just looks like a dirty black that needs to be cleaned especially when u have the almost stark contrast with the black body. id say go black.

Dankim10 · 09-14-2006, 09:43 PM

Black looks cheap looking tho. I will see when I get my rims and decide.

picus · 09-14-2006, 10:12 PM

I've cleaned a lot of black cars... I mean a lot; especially German ones - and in terms of brake dust I actually prefer the gunmetal look. Why? Silver obviously shows brake dust the most. Black doesn't show it at all from afar but up close it looks muted and dull. The nice thing about gunmetal is from any distance it's hard to tell if they are clean or not - they always look the same color. Just imo, of course. On my SG 335i I will definitely be going hyper black/gunmetal etc.

Dankim10 · 09-30-2006, 10:34 AM

I've searching the black car with HRE C20 and finally found pics.
The charcoal color will be perfect on my jet black!:rocks:
I can't wait to install C20!

SD330i · 09-30-2006, 12:28 PM

Those are absolutely awesome. I really wanted the C21's, but I could not bring myself to throw down that much cash. Definately will need to see some pictures of your ride when you are done. I have 448s on order and I should be getting mine close to the time you are getting yours. Who did you purchase through may I ask?

Dankim10 · 09-30-2006, 08:42 PM

Thanks for the comments.
I ordered it from the local wheel shop in Jakarta which is the most famous shop here.

remmib · 09-30-2006, 09:15 PM

Go with the charcoal, the M3 in the pics look awesome with those HRE wheels

Dankim10 · 10-01-2006, 08:51 PM

that's(charcoal) what I ordered.

3thirty5 · 10-02-2006, 01:20 AM

they look awsome! can i ask u how much you paid for the wheels?

Dankim10 · 10-02-2006, 05:20 AM

$5.2k

yamazaho · 10-02-2006, 09:16 AM

Man people can really spend big money on rims huh... Too bad I am not brave enough in invest that kinda money right now.

$5200 is nearly 10 months of my school apt's rent!!!

But nice wheels man.... totally loving it!!

Dankim10 · 10-02-2006, 09:46 PM

Even though the price is very expensive, I think it worth it. Because the quality of the wheel is excellent and great resale value as well.
If including tires, I paid almost $6700. Waited for 2 years to get this wheel!

///Matt · 10-03-2006, 01:25 AM

DAMN, bro. Grats

Dankim10 · 10-03-2006, 01:34 AM

thanks!
Waiting kills me.

RGRAY · 10-03-2006, 01:39 AM

I think black wheels look better on a black car.

IMO, go all black with a glossy black grill.

I see you have the blacklines and tint already.
