Vote which 19" rims looks best with YMB, comparison pictures

scheneider · 05-04-2015, 11:02 AM

silver

AlphaOmega4 · 05-04-2015, 11:11 AM

My vote is Black!! I love the look of the silver but feel its not quite sporty enough for this color so again ....

BLACK

a couple shots of mine.

I prefer the silver, but you're right, they are more classy (or classic). Black seems to be more in right now and what people want on their cars. Have the silver (on MG) and they look awesome.

Silver may be a bit less sporty, but it just looks a lot better, it's very simple.

chris s · 05-04-2015, 01:39 PM

Silver...no doubt!

Brennan ///M4 · 05-04-2015, 01:48 PM

I wavered back and forth on this a bit when I ordered my car (Tanzanite blue with silver/ferric wheels), and decided that while the black wheels may look great in certain lighting conditions, the silver wheels look fantastic all the time.

in my eyes:

YMB- lighter so ...
SG- darker so ...

see, easy

That is one of the best analysis I have heard to date....thanks Brennan!

Silver is leading by +5 after three pages of votes.

The Vote count is exactly tied at 13 apiece. I wonder if a larger demographic would come up with similar results or not.

... silver would have been my vote

nene · 05-04-2015, 07:47 PM

I would choose Silver. That is what I was planning to go with.
However I had to go with Black because I was planning to go with black optics all along.
Good luck. Can't go wrong either way. Love the stock look, black or silver.

MPNGAO_M4 · 05-04-2015, 08:21 PM

Black

Silver, silver, SILVER (3 votes). Leave black for the tires where it belongs

4DRS55 · 05-04-2015, 09:34 PM

Silver

m4bpro · 05-04-2015, 09:40 PM

I always had silver on all my other cars so I thought about going the same with my M4. But when I saw black, I knew that was the right color. It has a different appeal. Not sure about silver being the "classy" one, I actually think the black adds more personality to the car with a certain class to it.

Thank you for explaining that. I couldn't figure out why in some photos the black two tone was so evident on the stock rims and it others I couldn't see the two tone at all and they just looked like a cheap powder coated rim. Now it makes sense.

Silver on YMB and darker. Black on the silvers, yellows, and whites.

If you are going to tint your windows, go black otherwise go silver. I went black for stock and then put aftermarkets on but am keeping the stock for resale of the car in the future.

AIRPOWER · 05-05-2015, 06:38 AM

Silver leads by +8 so far

ando · 05-05-2015, 06:57 AM

Black because as others have said they have a bit more definition. Some lighting and levels of brake dust conditions make them different.

I agree for the most part but from a distance they look like NASCAR wheels or just big black tires. The blacks looks awesome up close though, better than the silver but the silvers look great at all distances.
