Wheels Colour

MO3 · 12-01-2010, 03:18 AM

I changed my wheels colour to gun metal but I'm not happy with it.

I was thinking of a colour like this:

What do you guys think?

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 12-01-2010, 03:24 AM

MO3 that pic makes your wheels kinda look like steel-blue as opposed to gunmetal... were you just gonna get them powdercoated? or do you want to get new wheels?

MO3 · 12-01-2010, 03:37 AM

No bmroxm5, I'm not going to get new wheels, at least for the time being. I was going to get them powdercoated. Do you like the skyline's wheels colour? or do you think I need to go a bit darker?

Gun Metal looks good on your car

Thanks Dan320.

yupz, is gone a bit bluish, maybe make it bit darker to look like how it originally did?
You could try the silver alloy look though see if you can find some pictures of a Monaco Blue with silver M3 wheels to get an idea of how it will look.

Gunmetal grey looks good on the black e90 in meet.

That's the end result...

Sorry SharifE, I actually don't know the model number. I got the wheels with the car.

cruvon · 12-02-2010, 03:06 PM

I like it

,[EDIT] did you repaint to silver on top of the bluish tint? Might be the camera acting up?

BMW wheel list - might be helpful.

I think they might be the M260's - they are pretty.

MFKN3 · 12-02-2010, 06:09 PM

Are they blue or is it your camera? Doesn't look very gun metal at all.

Perhaps silver or titanium?

Thanks for that..good source.

John_01 · 12-02-2010, 06:54 PM

The silver looks good. So much better than the blue-gun colour in the first pics.

gunsekun · 12-02-2010, 06:56 PM

LOL/... i thought the blue car was a g35

John_01 · 12-02-2010, 07:58 PM

Well its a Skyline coupe.. JDM import because Nissan don't sell it here.

MO3 · 12-02-2010, 11:19 PM

cruvon, yes I repainted them to silver. Had to do it twice because I didn't like the colour in the first pic

The blue car is a Skyline coupe 350GT and it's a JDM import. It's my "need for speed" drive.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Now it's just about time for the PE. cruvon, did you get yours?

cruvon · 12-02-2010, 11:24 PM

Rims look good now, still waiting for the PE, they wrote back saying slow because of the holiday shopping, still says is in the air to here though. Did you order yours?

MO3 · 12-02-2010, 11:49 PM

I'll order it today from Schmiedmann because I hate waiting

BTW where did you order the boot lip and the rear window spoiler from?

cruvon · 12-02-2010, 11:57 PM
