I rock silver 666s in the summer, and black 437s in the winter.

I like both, but the black wheels look meaner.

Thank you all for helping me out with your votes and comments. I am also leaning towards black wheels. Majority wins!

This is the best combo. 437s look great in black. 666s look dirty in black and lose a lot of depth vs silver.

It's a hard decision for sure. Black does look meaner, but they also look more subdued. Not as attention-grabbing as the silver. Once you see the silver in person you realize how special they are. Hands down when a passerby has seen a ZCP M3/4 first thing they comment on is the silver 666M's. I don't know if that would happen if they were in black because again they just blend in.

Tough decision but for me I would probably go silver because they reveal every detail of the design.

Black looked really mean and beautiful on an Alpine White M4 I saw at the dealer lot and is hands down my favorite but for SO silver is classy looking. Hard decisions.

Honestly it depends on balance.

Would you want a lot of black on SO?

Or would you want a bit of contrast considering your interior is silver? ZCP gives you a lot of black accents around the car, adding a lot of black to it might be a tad overkill.

However, I have always been more about balance... sooo

^^^ Exactly!

I just powder coated my 666M's in satin black this week and really LOVE the look. All black looks really good on an MG F80 which really completes the ZCP black accents and exposes the brakes nicely. Satin also shows off the interesting complexity of the wheel much better than gloss IMO.

...next is window tint!

Unique?! Everyone on here has black wheels! Have a look at every modded sedan or truck in your town - do they have black wheels? I'm sure they do.... The silver/grey is good looking when you get close imho. I am biased though, black with silver wheels ZCP here....

Looks really nice. I did not like the 666M Wheels but this changes my mind.

I say silver; because if you get tired of the color you can get them powder coated like someone stated. I have the silver color and love the contrast it creates against darker body colors.

That was going to be my plan!

Need to find some used 437s.

I have the silver 666 on Alpine White and I love them. Definitely like the black with Sakhir Orange though.

I agree the Black works a lot with SO, MW and AY and not so much with MG and YMB

Depends on exterior color of the car. Comp pack has all black accents so the black rims would fit nicely. My 2018 convertible has individual Ferrari red with comp pack. Black rims no brainer.

I realize that it is a matter of preference but two things I would never buy.

1. A white car.
2. A car with black wheels.

But unless you are planning on giving me the car you purchase I strongly suggest that you buy what you like.
