Hey guys and gals, I posted the other day that I completely destroyed both passenger side wheels on a pothole and I have decided to order 2 style 124's from Newport BMW and want to know what you all think I should do. I have attached pics of my car with black wheels and a pic of member BMW#6's car that has shadow chrome. All opinions appreciated

Danny

P.S. I am assuming that I would be able to change my 2 current black wheels, sort of strip off the black and put shadow chrome on. If thats not possible then I guess this post is worthless

Shadow chrome! Is that the same as Hyper Black?

You should have just gotten new 172s just like the other car while you're at it.

I'd vote Hyper Silver if there was an option. Shadow chrome looks pretty badass though. I'd love to see what my 166's would look like with Shadow Chrome paint.
