Input on Painting my Winter BMW Style 44s Another Color

[zhp43867]

I am running Style 44s this winter, with 225/45/17 Dunlop Wintersport 3Ds. Anyway, since my car is in the shop, they aren't even mounted yet. I picked up a spray gun for some interior projects, and since it works very well I'm thinking about changing my wheel color. I have a silver grey sedan, 30% tint, black splitters, etc. I'd like to change the wheel color to something different but I don't know what color to do.

Cliffs: Any creative ideas for wheel color on a SG sedan?

just do pink :shifty

^lol......Need to see a better color pic of your car in this thread...so I can visualize...

[pyreguy]

Copper would be interesting.

Matte gold

Have some fun

I personally think another wheel would be in order. 44's won't look good in any color, IMO.

[zhp43867]

They're for snow tires; I think the 44s look decent. I'll probably be running 15mm front/17.5mm rear spacers too. I do like the idea of bronze or matte gold, and I'm not opposed to really funky colors but I'm having difficulty picturing my car with gold wheels.

I have 15MM spacers and lugz at a super price....when you want them.

Have any pictures with the 44's on? Someone here could probably do a photoshop if you ask. Personally, I think matte gold would look nice

[zhp43867]

I do but I can't find them; I can Photoshop if I have color ideas. I'll try gold.

[zhp43867]

Bump. Help me out here guys :( Here are the pictures with the 44s. Same tires, so same profile, but in these pictures my car was not lowered, didn't have splitters or black grills, and the wheels have no spacers.

BTW that's my sisters 325ci 5 speed if you are wondering.

Actually I would be inclined to leave them alone. With the wide spokes not sure a color would work as well. If anything a darker hyper silver.. hide the dirt and brake dust. My wife's Audi has similar wheels and we need to refinish due to curb rash etc and I think we are leaving the color alone for the same reason.

Still not feeling it. Makes it look like a regular 3er, less badass...

How do you like those 44s? I have E36 Contours for my winter setup on my ZHP right now, but I'm looking to change to a 44. I've got a chance to buy some brand new ones for about $300. I'm thinking of grabbing them and throwing them on.

[ryankokesh]

I'd go black, maybe matte, in an effort to mitigate the beefiness. Or another dark color. Honestly I'd just plastidip them and call it a day.

[quikryptonite]

If I could get them to match this shade do you think they'd have a little bit of that je ne sais quoi to be cool:

I just put on a set, they actually look great IMO.

I like those. I think they'd look nice on a Mystic Blue sedan. Looks like I might be buying myself an early Christmas present.


HOLY OLD THREAD

I know, right? Just doing a little resurrection here.

I wanted to paint mine the Subaru gold. That would look good on Mystic.
