BSM 1M with Black Wheels??

Originally, I was hoping for a AW 1M and there were no doubts I would have the OEM wheels powder coated black. Now that I'm getting a BSM 1M, I'm thinking I'll leave the wheels alone. My last few cars have been white with black wheels which I really like the look of. I've seen some good looking black cars with black wheels but not sure about this route. Anyone out there with black wheels on BSM?

nice someone found a photo quickly... I agree.. the black on black wheels does not do it for me at all.. And I loves me a clean black car!

I absolutely love the stock wheels on my car.. I have a set of Apex Arc-8s ... unmounted.. I bought them in Hyper Silver.. I really think Silver, hyper silver and possibly anthracite ...are best because they still provide a good contrast to the paint on the car.

BSM is nice but not with black wheels imo. I think the stock wheels look specially nice on the BSMs.

I don't think it looks bad at all.

You can find a BSM 1M blacked out in this thread if you scroll down a bit.
(Different thread from the first post)

I have a BSM 1M and I am considering going gunmetal or anthracite on the wheels, but black on black is too much for me.
Anyone have any pics of a BSM with anthracite wheels? What do you guys think of this combo?

I'm getting mine painted anthracite/gun-metal On Monday. I'll take a picture for the forum. I think it'll look amazing when it's done.

Can't link from my phone but I posted pics of my BSM with the anthracite M3 wheels in one of the WinterTire threads. Looks so good I want to get my std wheels painted to match :-)

EDIT: Here's a crappy phone pic...

The longer the alloys remain unwashed, the more they start to look a bit like the gunmetal ones, albeit the unshiny, down-and-dirty equivalent.
However, accumulating brake-dust on the alloys ain't recommended if you prefer hassle-free wheel cleaning.
