Hey everyone,

I know you see these VMR wheel posts all of the time, but I need your opinion. I have a space gray 535 and I just bought some gunmetal V710. I'm thinking now that the gunmetal color might match too closely to the color of the car.

After looking at brabusw209amg's thread- http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=79370 -about his V710, I'm thinking about matte black or hyper silver. They look good on his car but my space gray is a little darker, I'm a little hesitant.

I want a little bit of a blacked-out look with matte black grills, tinted windows, and matching wheels (don't need to be black necessarily).

AKAlius has some nice hyper silvers on his e60 as well: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=79011

It will cost me to ship and maybe a restocking fee of 20%, so what do you guys think? Will they look good? Or should I cut my losses now, before I regret it later, and get something different?

Thanks

 

I like it when a silver (or dark silver) car sits on darker wheels - even if they are black. Except for glossy black wheels, I like anything that looks extraordinary. So I'd definitely go with with gunmetal or matte black..

 

but do you think the gunmetal matches too closely? you're the one who inspired me to pursue this idea haha

 

I think John's (brabus) set-up looks great

 

I think the gunmetal finish would look fine on your car.

 

IMO it's not worth the cost to switch to hypersilver. Gunmetal will work well on your car, I don't see a reason to switch.

 

+1 yeah...and that Forgestar looks great, Frank

 

gunmetal will look GREAT! I was debating on matte black and gunmetal. It looks GREAT when it closely resembles the body.

 

Thanks everyone for your replies. Keep em coming!
