Wheel Colour Ideas

[bear2020]

I am toying with the idea as my wheels need to be refurbed of the following


Matt Bronze

Copper

Or just keeping them the same
Car is sterling grey

Don't suppose anyone could photoshop the wheels on the car to those colours (If that is even possible?)

Any ideas?
Cheers

Like copper wheels on a black or white car, not sure about on silver/grey. Then again I went from chrome to silver to black to white on my old coupe, just about to pop these on my new toy.

Go for the copper

My three preferences would be....
1. Silver
2. Silver
3. Or if all else fails.....silver.

Gold/ copper wheels may seem like a good idea but sooner or later they look a bit 'max power'.
Black wheels just disappear, so all look similar no matter what they are.

A couple of pictures of my 'mistakes' with both colours.....

Your car has a coherent look to it currently. I've seen similar colour cars with shadow grey wheels that also look quite good to me but I'll admit that I am 'Mr Bland'.

My son would go for bright fluorescent yellow wheels and be totally happy. Sorry, can't help with photoshop.

The MV1s are a lovely looking wheel, IMO. As they are about as big as you can reasonably go on a Z3, they are a lot of what you see (if that makes sense). Big wheels on small car = lots of wheel which the eye is drawn to.
The only other colour apart from silver that would do them and the car justice (especially as you have finally got it painted correctly...and it look superb IMO) would be a 'shadow chrome'; ie a 'smoked silver', which will dull the silver down a little but not be too dark.
They will be more expensive to paint in that, as it is done in two stages IIRC.

I think copper wheels on a Sterling Grey car will look awful.

Can not photoshop, too many spokes, the app gets confused.
may I suggest black gloss spokes with silver rims?

Bright Lime Green wheels look OK on silver/grey cars.
Even white would look better than copper.

My advice is leave it as it is! It looks glorious in its original silver-wheel configuration.

Lets not forget the wheel spinners and the fluffy dice Stevo, . But I actually like the Bronze that @SV8Predator rendered,

The Autoglym police has sent inspector Andy for immediate arrest. Charges are neglection and lack of shine.

Very sorry my Lord. It does rain sometimes in the South of England!
