Poll: 2018 Fire Orange M3 ZCP which FI-R color?

FLT6SPD · 03-03-2018, 02:01 PM

Inbound Fire Orange M3, I have decided on the FI-R but undecided on color.

Black? or Platinum Gloss?

I feel black is played out

I say black wheels. The black wheels will contrast nicely with the black comp package trim and carbon fiber roof. The gloss wheels will not blend as well with the fire orange color and black trim IMHO.

acid orange 666

I'd leave it be with the 666'ers.

gatorfast · 03-03-2018, 07:24 PM

Definitely not black. The silver 666m look great.

doug_999 · 03-03-2018, 08:16 PM

If so, silver
If not, black

Nobody stole my hubcaps*, I just couldn't afford any.

* how many people on this forum even know what "hubcaps" are??

I'm old enough to know that the old GTA games, when you drove crappy cars very fast around corners, hubcaps flies off the wheels.

I prefer Black. I feel Silver is played out.

Poiseuille · 03-03-2018, 10:21 PM

For myself, I go with silver. But the fact is nothing could hurt that car.

FLT6SPD · 03-04-2018, 12:22 AM

Appreciate all the feedback.

As for the 666's I have to drive it a bit and see how harsh the 20" ride is compared to the 19" cup2's i'm used to.

The M3 will be here Monday.

Blksnowflake · 03-04-2018, 03:45 AM

Platinum silver. They look better and show the wheels a lot better. I've decided on these wheels and the black from a car length away look like any other black wheels.

Signature Wheel BMW · 03-04-2018, 01:37 PM

Orange is a bright color, black can tone it down a notch. If you're on the fence, get Platinum Gloss. If you hate it, it's super easy to powder coat them satin black later vs the other way around. Just my 2 cents.

Love the color by the way.

TTR · 03-04-2018, 01:39 PM

Black for sure, but it's better to go wider wheels than 10.5 FR-I? 11 or 11.5 on rear

Interesting. I would think most people would say black is played out considering most people seem to go with black for after market wheels and now many oem wheels are black as well.

I have never been a fan of black wheels though. Silver looks much nicer 99% of the time imo.
