Wheel colour is like wheel style you will get a number of personalised answers.

A few people have said to me i should get the wheels on my Dakar done black ( you see yellow porsche, Lambo's etc with black wheels) I just can't see it
I can't see past silver or maybe a dark silver at a push .

Yeah really don't like black wheels I'm thinking maybe anthracite or like you said a darker silver

Think I’d keep to the original colour
It’s just a personal choice

I think Boston Green is quite a dark colour, although I have'nt actually seen a car this colour. I would certainly avoid black and go with a dark silver or perhaps graphite gray.

Doesn't look too bad, not mine btw But really, I'd go with Black Chrome on the yellow - not as dark as anthracite, more of a smoked effect. They can vary the colour to your taste, as they mix black and silver.

For the Boston Green, how about Yellow wheels
Really I'd stay with Sliver as the contrast works well.

Black wheels do look good with some colours but not with boston green. I'm thinking more dark silver or keeping them stock

It is quite dark I think the general feeling is dark silver or gray

A while back I had an e36 in Boston Green, and the colour changed with the light. It's going to be tricky finding something that'll suit it as it goes from green to blue to black under different light conditions.

Very true pal never thought of that

Probably best to stick to something fairly neutral, silver/grey type of thing. But it's your car, your choice. Photoshop may be your friend at a time like this.

Well, the Estoril blue changes quite a bit in sunlight, the wheels are just dark blue metallic.
I didn't really like it when we got her, but I like it now, SWMBO loves her, that's good because she is her car.

That's what I'm leaning more towards myself just a little darker then standard

Now, there's a stroke of luck.

Ferric Grey is nice its a gark BMW grey wheel paint, I had my black e89 wheels done by BMW before I bought it as they were silver and just looked too bright against the black paint.

I got my wheels refurbished in Ferric Grey as mentioned in another thread, see below.

Got my Z3 M Coupe alloy wheels (17") refurbished - stripped & powder coating in BMW Ferric Grey including new centre caps & M stickers. £210 all in at a local company RS Alloys in Hartlepool.
I also had alloy wheels refurbished for my wife's Golf 2litre TDI GT which are diamond cut which worked out at £8 each.

Best thing is to check around to see what local firms can do for you, I checked three different companies before I finally decided which one to use.

I do like the look of that colour but finding difficult to see what it would look like on my car
