Sparkling Graphite Wheel Pics?

woodman650 · 11-04-2008, 01:07 PM

Looking for some inspiration from members with sparkling graphite cars. I am curious as to what might look good. Thanks!

If you have the money go custom from Vorsteiner, DP-E, etc, etc...then you can pick the colors you want on the wheels you get.

The Breyton GTS-R in gunmetal with red stripe painted over in black.

woodman650 · 11-04-2008, 03:16 PM

SGM with the silver GTS-R's looks pretty good too.

Since I have the chrome-line trim I will probably be going with those when Summer comes around next year. I like the look of the darker wheels, but with the bright, shiny trim it just doesn't look right.

As for pics, I found....

That is exactly what I was thinking since I have the chrome-line trim as well.

thanks for the links JME... though now I'm completely torn on coloring my wheels gunmetal or leaving them silver.

Just to add to your confusion - my preference so far is for hyperblack CSLs. To me it seems (from pics) to be the best of both worlds - a dark wheel, but one that still has a shine.

Mine are the same as Mikeo's, but I left the red stripe. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...4&postcount=37

I had one of the pics of your setup as my desktop for months, Gray135i. :w00t:

I can't see the images any more. I'm also looking for new rims on my sparkling graphite e87 and I doubt between matte black and jet anthracite. Your opinion?

I've got silver on my car and think it looks good with the trim.

My wheels are "titanium" which is sort of a dark silver (looks lighter in my pictures). One of the nice things is that they look just as good when they get dusty.

Heres two of my winter set.
