I think TiAg will accept all the finish options. I was looking at the silver with black inside. Now opting for a lighter wheel choice which ='s more $$$.

Hey, while this topic is active, I got a question. What color combo are the rims on an actual M6...silver/gunmetal...or just all gunmetal?

I personally prefer the silver/gunmetal setup on the E92, I think the polished is a bit much.

A stock M6 wheel is silver with gunmetal inner spokes similar to our wheels:

wouldn't the inside of the wheels get dirty with brake dust anyways? so the gunmetal wouldn't really show up??

I'm not a fan of the gunmetal...I've always thought it looked dirty or like there was a lot of brake dust on the wheel. The bright silver is hot though!

Here's a pic of my car with the 19" silver/gunmetal M6 reps; btw -- originally, I wanted the all silver M6 reps, but since **********s was all out of them, I accepted the silver/gunmetal ones, and I have to say that I'm glad I did...not only do they look great on my SG 335i Coupe, but also when they get dirty, they don't seem to look as dirty as the all silver wheels b/c of the gunmetal paint on the inside.

It's actually the opposite effect, the gunmetal helps mask the brake dust.

Interesting effect--never thought of it that way--but if they are good at masking the brake dust, do they ever look as hot as a nice clean silver wheel? I have never seen them in person--but on most pics, they just don't seem to "pop" like silver--and i like them in your pics. Just curious....

Here's a pic of the real M6 wheel on an M6; since the M6 Reps are pretty much identical...what do you think?
