Hi Guys/Gals,

I sold my 2016 SO/SO M3 last year for personal reasons but I'm back again this year for a 2018 SO/SS M3 and this time with competition package. I'm torn between wheel colors and wanted to know what you guys think between the two colors offered for the 666M wheels. Please vote.

The black wheels, they 'tone in' with the other CP accents; grille, exhaust and side 'gills' not to mention the CF roof. Also, SO lends itself to either silver or black wheels.. Ultimately, I think the black gives the car a 'tougher' dirtier look while the silver wheels make the car a more sophiticated expensive appearance. IMO. Either way it'll look great!

Wow I've never seen the CP wheels in the darker color I love them. Definitely the dark ones - the car has no chrome/silver on it so like everyone else said it just matches!

They aren't actually black though right? Looks like a "titanium" or "gunmetal." I'm actually refinishing the factory wheels on my S4 to the BBS "Titanium" finish via paintmatch.

They're just like your wheels now where the face is tinted and the barrel/in between spokes is black. The combo makes them appear much darker at certain angles like the black 437M.

This! the competition pack has black parts all over the place, get the black wheels to compliment them

I typically don't like black wheels but for the 666 style I would def go black as I don't think the silver ones compliment the car at all.

I feel like the 'black' wheels look almost dirty. I think i'm going to go with the regular silver ones.
