No, not my Rad's on my E60. This is for my X5, but I still need your opinion, since the members on X5World suck. Hahahaha!

I'm having my 20" X5 Wheels (214) RE-powdercoated next week. The grey color that currently resides on these wheels is not what I wanted. They tried to do a gunmetal color and it got messed up. I went with this alternative grey and it's not good at all. It's much too flat and boring. That said, I've decided to go with a high gloss black for the wheels and make the X5 completely "murdered out". However, the wheel place I'm using also offers the opportunity to have the wheels "Time Attacked" with a pin stripe around the circumference of each wheel. I was thinking of doing this in the color red. The only other portion of my car that is red are my tail lights. However, even these, I had slightly tinted.

What do you guys think?

 

Eh, I wouldn't do it. It will look badass in all black, but since there is no red to compliment the wheels the "time attack" would be pointless unless you plan on adding other red accents later.

 

Glad you mentioned that. My rear tails are actually red. I tinted only the clear portion. Outside of that, EVERYTHING else on the truck has been blacked out. There is no chrome left on the car, outside of the running boards. I'm also considering painting the calipers red or black.

Frank - Get your photoshop skills in order. Here are a few pix to use:

+1 Don't do it.

I'm personally not a fan of time attack wheels but they do look good on sportier cars. Don't think it'll look right on your car especially when there's no other red accents. If you got red Brembos, then maybe it'll look better.

 

I go for total high gross black with no red line.

 

DON'T DO IT!! Once you go black you'll never go Time Attack. Stay Classy Carlton.

 

What if I painted my calipers red? I've been considering it...

I need someone with PS skills.

 

+100 - no red line, it will look very sick with the gloss black you plan on doing though.

 

Yeah, but probably not.

 

You need a shrink for even posting this thread Wayne Richardson.
