sorry looks like something on a type r not feeling it

Danny.B. · 07-21-2011, 04:50 PM

Looks good that!

Only problem with black wheels is it makes them look smaller!

davyk31 · 07-21-2011, 05:06 PM

Can't understand the appeal of black wheels at all, they just look dull but each to their own I guess.

Everyone has their own tastes just think yours is very rare. How's that? Don't take any comments on here personally tho.

Until I saw the second picture, my immediate reaction was that those tacky wheels would go well with a personalised number plate - then I noticed that you've already got one...

ciomas · 07-21-2011, 07:30 PM

have the same wheels on a black e92 and had them powdercoated black i think the red stripe is an unnecesary touch. Maybe if you had a little theme going on (calipers or scoops) but not on an all black

chris... · 07-22-2011, 02:54 AM

Well that went down like a fart in church oh well good job it's me drive'n it

Jules59 · 07-22-2011, 03:00 AM

Like the wheels lots. Shame the car is black though

If you like it mate, that's all that matters!

Dizzle · 07-22-2011, 03:30 AM

Time attack style.....think this would be a typical, its better in person scenario; Who ever has done the wheels has done a good job

+1 the red part doesn't go as well with a bmw than like a corsa. Lovely car though. Same as people say everyone has different taste it is good to be different sometimes.

CH79 · 07-22-2011, 05:38 AM

I'm not a fan of black wheels in gereral I think they look good with the red stripe. It does make the wheels look smaller though! Get your brake calipers painted red to match!

davyk31 · 07-22-2011, 05:42 AM

My local Mini dealer seem obsessed with black wheels as they seem to order all cars with them and also regularly spray wheels on trade ins to black. You see the car on the Aprroved Used Car ad when it comes in with silver wheels and then a week or two later they are black. Does look ok on some cars although I wouldn't buy one but on others it looks horrendous.

Golgarth · 07-22-2011, 05:45 AM

A decent red pinstripe on the car would make them look so much better, would have to be a VERY slim pinstripe to work though. Love the wheels, but the car needs something more to carry them well.

CH79 · 07-22-2011, 06:01 AM

Stick an M Sport badge on the front grill. That has red on it!

MEGA · 07-22-2011, 06:22 AM

I don't like the time attack but the black looks good.

NB. Some of the people on here think a BMW is only there to drive them to business meetings up and down the motorway and that to even consider changing any part of it makes you a chav. Don't worry about it.
