I was looking for suggestions to lighten up the wheels on my M3. I had them painted a darker color many years ago, attached, but am thinking to go to silver. But what finish of silver? Any suggestions and pics would be appreciated!

Right now I'm a big fan of the brushed clear look. If you're wanting to go light that might be something to consider.

Hmmm. And people wonder why the original orbit grey machine look was the best 🤔

You’ll never get a look like that painting them.

I’ve been wanting to see a bronze, machined and tinted clear. Might be interesting.

I wouldn't recolor 437Ms. Those are difficult to get back to OEM.

Apex VS-5RS or Richland Forged GT4s in Brushed Clear. Or ball out and get HRE R101LWs.

OP - are the wheels black or an anthracite color?

I love my R101LW in dark brushed clear
