Need help with rim color.
I got these wheels a few months ago. I always liked black on black combo and never thought about changing the colors. A friend of mine suggested I have the wheels powder coated bright silver. Do you think it would pop more? Would the car look better? The M3's wheel color is what I'm looking to do. Thanks.

I am sure you will receive advise from one end of the spectrum to the other, so prepare yourself. If you would be so kind as to please share the information on the carbon front splitter that would be great! |

The seller I bought it from doesn't sell it anymore. But this one will do. https://www.ebay.com/itm/303567178588

OP: Good job on your car, looks very menacing!
Like Chubbiejones said, you're entering "opinion" territory with wheel talk, but unless you're bent on pursuing the full murdered-out look, I'd say mix it up with a non-black wheel color; any amount of contrast will help them pop more. Bright silver will definitely pop more, but the contrast doesn't have to be that drastic (similar to how even the carbon fiber bits definitely look noticeable on your ride). I'd Google how black chrome, hypersilver and gunmetal shades look on black cars to get a feel of the final product. I have bronze wheels on mine and love it.

I've never been a fan of black wheels or the "murdered out" looks. I find that contrast is important to creating character and style. With that said, I love grey/silver wheels, but I don't know how well they would go with your setup. Perhaps anthracite or a 2 tone setup (perhaps the current color wheels with machined spoke faces) might give you some contrast without going full silver?
