I currently own a TiAg 330i and after debating for a long time what route to take with the wheels of my car, I have decided to get 19" CSL rep's. I want to keep it as OEM as possible but I'm really, really, having a hard time debating whether to get the regular silver color or go with gunmetal. The only reference, in person that I have seen is an Audi RS4, silver with gunmetal wheels and it looks good.

I've seen all the pictures on the forum but I still can't decide. I live in Lima, Peru (South America) and I really don't get to see any mods on the streets to get a real feel of how they look on the car, pictures sometimes do not look the same in person.

¿What do you guys recommend? Should I stick to the silvers (that was my first choice). The weather here is so, so sometimes sun, mostly grey (I know that is a factor on how gunmetal looks). Is the TiAg with silver too much? Do you recommend some contrast?

I have had the car for a year (it's a 2008 euro spec 330i/272hp) and so far I have added the M-Tech Kit, OEM carbon fiber rear diffuser, rear deack spoiler and blacklines. From factory I ordered it with the M-Tech suspension (it's low but not that low).

Thank you for your time and input, I appreciate it!

CSL's Satin Black... 19's~ Alufelgen/ VMr's

To me, Silver on TI Silver is the classiest look you can get on that color. This is exactly how your vehicle will look. Here is a picture to help you visualize it.



PM for more details.

Here are my alufelgen gunmetals. Maybe you can photoshop them onto a TiAg 330i.

Thanks for the help guys! This decision in driving me nuts... TiAg is a hard color to mix and match. here is some further information:

- Black is out of the question.
- I plan on dropping it further and going with black glossy grills.
- I want it to be more agressive than classic.
- I have seen the pictures, I like how Minipucks look but if I could just see some in person it would make my decision much easier.
- Is there a color in between? how dark is the gunmetal?

Thanks again for the help!

This is an amazing combo , more shot please

Are you running 235/35 and 265/30 Kumho's ECSTA KU31, right?

What are your impressions about these tires?

silver will look more classic and stay on the OEM side

Personally I would go with gunmetal but that's because I have gone through a set of original silver for over 1 year. I love it but it gets boring very soon IMO, so go gunmetal man!!!

Personally I'm more of a fan of the more aggressive colored wheels like Matte Black and Gunmetal. Here's a few pictures:





Let me know if you have any questions on these wheels.

[Craig@SupremePower]

gunmetal imo..

[jaceaholic]

i would go with gunmetal or hyper black..

[VTECaddict]

Hyperblack is a bit lighter than gunmetal

The tires are pretty good. For the price, you can beat them. They ride slightly rougher than the stocker tires, but that's because they're 19's. Wet traction is a lot better than before.

Here is our gunmetal on a TiAg E90

Gunmetal on TiAg without a doubt.
