I saw a CS in person the other day. Those wheels looked pretty sweet. I think they were more mat than satin.

On the other hand. I've had black wheels on my last couple of cars. I'm kind of digging a nice silver wheel.

Satin grey looks good.

I'm about to get mine done - have the two tone black/silver ones now and either going satin grey or just plain silver ( I think they also did the 437m in OEM DC silver ).

As much as I hate gloss black wheels, I think they would look good on this specific car and these wheels. Or gloss dark grey.

I'll try to get a better photo but here's my set of 437's painted by the last owner in all grey. Honestly prefer it over the set of Ferric greys I had on my F30.

Don't mind the brake dust! She was filthy during a 1800 mile trip back home

Check out 1222 wheels.

I'm trying to figure out color too. I like them all but I think I have the color down but do I want a brushed or solid coat???

The dealer decided to powdercoat the wheels gloss black before listing it for sale, I'm not sure why they'd think it would look better than the original silver finish on this colour...

Here's a pic for you to reference, but my plan is to refinish them a bright silver, unless someone can think of a better pairing for this colour.

WOW I've never seen Silverlake on an F80. That is beautiful

I vote clear if you must, or nothing, black wheels look cheap to me

Satin black with machined face looks sick
