Greatly need opinion on wheels!

paintdude258 · 05-20-2008, 10:01 AM

I have been looking around at wheels and have decided on the eas cls 18' replicas. I am torn though between what color to get. I want to do something different, so I was looking at the hyper black, and the matte black. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
also the car in my sig is the one they will be going on.
also to see the colors of the wheels, go to the sponsor classified section and look at eas's thread there.
Thanks for any help,
Blake

Why not just go with the regular silver? If not hyperblack. My two cents.

ianbiz · 05-20-2008, 10:48 AM

I'd do silver for that clean, crisp, almost OEM look.

MMMazing07 · 05-20-2008, 10:58 AM

if you want to do something different dont get CSL reps in the first plae IMO

rc'Z · 05-20-2008, 11:06 AM

It depends on the look that YOU are after, not what other folks think. Go on Tire Rack and try out some different colors.

paintdude258 · 05-20-2008, 01:05 PM

I'm 18 and am definitely going for the agressive race look!!! And tire rack just dosent do justice in terms of accuracy in my oppinion!

kleinjesse · 05-21-2008, 07:23 AM

go with the flat black....I have the same exact car as you. im about to paint my factory turbines flat black

paintdude258 · 05-21-2008, 08:19 AM

oh bad ads man, thanks for the input!! I literally almost painted my rims black as well, but then decided I wanted to go an inch bigger tire and rim!

MMMazing07 · 05-21-2008, 09:11 AM

if you want a racy look. volks are your friend

Dammmittt · 05-21-2008, 09:56 AM

Not sure hyperblack would look right on a silver car.

wasupdu · 05-21-2008, 03:14 PM

I'm personally not a fan of black wheels, or chrome for that matter. I have the 19" M6 reps on my Z4 and that's about as much black as I'd go. I guess I'm wheel prejudice...lol

It's not about the style of the wheel, it's about the color of a wheel against the silver.

Thats a great point, and makes perfect sense, but since theres no chrome on my car, couldn't I go with the matte black?

Paintdude, It's your car. You are an individual. It's what looks good to you that counts.

+1 you are 18, I think the car is enough for most people to already be jealous of you. Hell I know how many dirty looks I get and I am 24!

If you get something, half the people on here are going to like it and the other half won't. You can't please everybody without spending 4-5 Gs on the rims.

I like the M6 reps and silver CSL reps on a silver car.

Andrewinla · 05-22-2008, 11:37 PM

As many CSL reps I see on the forums, I have yet to see a single car other than M3 Comp package with the CSL wheels in person.
I live in Los Angeles so its not like there are not enough BMW's running around here.
The CSL looks great and will fit your car.
18" will look better but your ride wont suffer as much as 19"'s.

The wheel color is up to you.
Black doesnt show of the details but may look good.

OH FO SHO · 05-23-2008, 12:05 AM

go red or blue.

Brucewonder · 05-23-2008, 01:12 AM

silver for the oem look

zuendi · 05-23-2008, 05:39 AM

I also had to choose.... however I went for the V715 from VM however in 19". in the first place I wanted the Csl's replica's. But the Lip design did it all, you mentioned you want to go for some agressive race look: here you are:

See you Zuendi
