Help me pick wheel color

[Earl]

Personally, I don't like either color. Dark wheels are only good for one thing, hiding brake dust. That being said, I think a nice medium silver would look good=)

Black is pretty played out and they can look like steelies when rolling. Also I think those wheels look pretty flat. I love me some concave. Hence my super deep concave Forgestars.

This color!!  VMR calls it sunken treasure.  Hy-tec does great powder coating and Jed is a wheel master!

that's correct. very played out. And also yes the Apex wheels are very flat - sadly those are the only 135i offsets they provide. I would only get apex for dedicated track wheel at this point, I think. 

that sunken treasure color is interesting - do we have any photoshop experts that could place one of those wheels on a pic of my car?

I would do Hyper silver, but if you go dark, satin black looks pretty nice.

Edit: He said that these were satin black, but the more I look at them the more they look like anthracite

Found these on e90post.

Offset would be a little low to run on a 1er.

Yea I wasn't sure about the 1 offsets.

The wheels on that blue m3 are definitely anthracite. 

I had hyper silver on my black 135 and it was great, but for crimson red it just doesn't jive with the rest of the car - I have 12% tint, blacked out kidneys, carbon fiber front splitter, carbon fiber rear diffuser, and my carbon trunk is painted red except for the back top strip which was left carbon. So there are a lot of black/charcoal accents to the car, and it only makes sense that the wheel matches that theme. 

So on that note, I'm pretty much set on a darker color
