Silver vs Black Rims on AW

xa2elb · 11-25-2011, 02:23 PM

I am ordering either V710's 19" or 359 Avant Garde 19".

I am unsure what to get either, silver, or matte black especially with the AG 359's.

If I go with black the car may look to aggressive but with silver it may either be a perfect balance or look odd because its such a neutral color with such an aggressive stance/look.

What do you guys think?

Its on AW E90 LCI M-sport with black grills, tints, and a black roof but im taking it off due to a crappy job done by myself.

That's what I thought before I went black on my last cars rims. Difference was I went for Satin black not Matt black

Ok it's not AW, or an e90 or even 19s but you get the idea:

if your gonna do black id at least say get a mach lip. i feel like all black is too boy racer.

silver>*

merchomini · 11-25-2011, 07:55 PM

matte black is a no for me...semi gloss or gloss is better........they show less brake dust........

but mannnnnnnn do i think the black wheels and blacked out everything is overplayed...... on AW it wouldnt look bad if its the right black.

I agree +10000000000. way too overplayed and it would have to be the perfect black. leaning much more towards silver now

yep.....thats the way i would go.......its much more classy than just black.....i could only do black wheels if i had 1000hp..

post up some pics when u get them

Chris H. · 11-25-2011, 08:41 PM

I have alpine with and just ordered silver SF-71's. IMO very subtle aggressive look.

Silver is for life and doesn't go out of style... But it's still a tough call, I bouce between silver, hypersilver, and hyperblack every other day! You just have to give it a try and if you really aren't feeling the choice you can sell them try the next.

ska///235i · 11-26-2011, 10:56 PM

you got msport with black grills, need to finish it off with black rims imo

Chasen · 11-27-2011, 12:02 AM

SILVER!!

edirtaynine · 11-27-2011, 12:10 AM

black wheels if u want to look like ur on steelies.

get silver or diamond black. they look good on any color car; also easier to sell later down the road when u want to switch it up.
