763M frozen gold on dark graphite M550i?

Lancelot · 08-22-2021, 02:33 AM

Would these wheels look good on my dark graphite (sophisto grau) G30 M550i?
Or would the frozen gold be tacky against the cerium gray parts?

Here's a poor attempt at photoshop merging bmw wheel configurator for M850i wheels with M550i body

Not a fan of the gold wheels. They haven't caught on with me yet. I do think they look tacky and feel like something that is usually an aftermarket modification.

i'm afraid so

basically i'm looking for light wheels, debating between forged 669M orbit grey wheels and these 763M for M850i.

I like the shape of the 763M better, but not the color and they're only available in frozen gold, unlike the ones for F80.

I can find a complete set of these 763M for a decent price, but if I end up repainting them i'll probably end up worse off

Yeah I do like the look of those wheels. Too bad they aren't available ex the gold. I just think lowered Honda when I see gold wheels.

Different car and color, but I had matte bronze wheels on my 2018 Daytona Grey SQ5…the light made all the difference in terms of how they looked with the car.

Not sure on these wheels against the dgm. I like the style but not sure on the color. I have a dgm 540 and was wondering how gold might look so thanks for the tender.
Wondering if bronze or matt bronze might be better.

Style is good.
Bling bling gold, not so good.
Dark Bronze or M5 CS ‘esque is better in my humble opinion.

Love the wheels but NOT the gold. Tacky is the right word.

It’s the chocolate bar gold foil colour that ruins it. Why don’t they do them in silver or grey ffs.

I've got a set of matte bronze wheels for sale if anyone is interested!

Bolt pattern is 5x112 and hub size will fit BMW perfect!
