Silver gray needs the OEM finish for proper contrast IMO

[xtremecro]

Can't find pics of bronze can someone photoshop

[RVAzhp]

^^^I think pink goes well with the silver gray. And I'm serious too.

I would so do that if I had two sets...

[UdubBadger]

yeah I'd keep silver unless you go ALMOST black but not quite with some metallic flaking. Not Gunmetal, thats too light. You'd want like a charcoal or graphite color.


Or pink. :)

Burnt Orange, but I'm biased.

I would only say a different shade, that has too much purple/red for my taste. I have a pink tie (I'm a real man, I wear pink) that I gotta post it so you can see what shade I'm talking about. It would be amazing on some wheels IMO (for a girl at least)

I've been debating doing this for about 2 years now... I think I wanna get some new wheels and do it to them

[UdubBadger]

yeah thats typically the color of wheels i usually go for on my cars. your car being silvergray it makes it harder to throw some contrast in there so I'd go as dark as u can without it actually being black and if you do black, do a semi gloss or satin finish, not gloss.

[jjcools]

Bronze. Been thinking about it for my majestic blue...

[UdubBadger]

not sure bronze and gray go that well... too neutral.

this is what I was talking about, pictures don't do it justice. It's like a neon pink in the sun

That might just look good......

[HokieZHP]

My brother who drives a subie 2.5gt wagon is getting some rota grids apparently and is pushing me hard to powdercoat my winters. We'll see though. I'll post up if anything happens.

[UdubBadger]

Metallic Gunmetal w/ matte clear

I changed my mind about liking the pink after thinking about it for a while... you're not a 13 yr old girl are you? Keep the bimmer classy, not ricey. It's a BMW, not a Civic.
If you want to go "Motorsport", do orange, I've always loved the Porsches I see with the GT3 orange wheels/accents.

This is called Flat Dormant Orange

Just my .$02

[xtremecro]

Hmmm the top two are nice. I realy don't like to stand out with orange... Cops etc... I'm trying to link another tread on iPhone cuz those colors are hot! Maybe when I get home on my Mac

[xtremecro]

Btw where did u find these

[UdubBadger]

i think i googled powdercoat color chart and it was one of the links on the 1st page

[Ryans323i]

Ooo, I like the orange.

Do the police really target cars that are modded w/ abnormal colors?? (serious question here)

PS: Hermes, that tie rocks!

[UdubBadger]

ehhhh probably in some areas but i doubt you can make it a "rule"

for 12 months my car was basically as modded as it could be without actually transforming it into a legit race car... I had all the bolt ons and it was LOUD. Not to mention I had my companies graphics vinyled all over it. I got pulled over once for my dumb fault, going 58 in a 45 right past a cop who lasered me. it's the only time I've ever even been looked at funny by a cop in this car, or my last BMW for that matter which was blacked out completely.

I was driving a buddy of mines E92 M3 a few weeks back, turned left on my arrow past a cop in his left turn lane, he immediately busted a U turn and followed me and pulled me over. I asked what the problem was (I was driving UNDER the speed limit) and he cited me for no front plate (luckily I got off since it wasn't my car).

Bottom line I think boneheads just tend to attract more attention than flashy colors on a car. it just might happen that more bonehead drivers have flashy colored cars is all. :dunno

not a bad idea though, don't associate yourself with them if you don't need to.

[xtremecro]

Yea here in NYC cops look for something to catch their eye and as the pull u over think of a reason. So rather just stay under the radar with a graphite or gunmetal

Gunmetal (+brake dust)

My buddy has gunmetal V710's on his black M3. I don't like the way it looks though, not just the spoke pattern but I think on a black car you should either go black, ALMOST black or contrasting color. The factory VMR gunmetal is too light.

yep thats it.
