Need help! Wich colour M-Performance rims should I take?





These? Or these painted in black?

I ordered it exactly like the one in the pictures with the M-Performance parts etc. Did not order the sidemirrors in carbon, should I? Did opt for the blackened rear windows to avoid fishtank problems.
Also opted for individual tartufo interior

Still cannot make up my mind. The rims are installed at the dealer so I still have some time to decide. What would you guys do?

These are stunning. I know that I am in the minority, but in general, I dislike black rims. I like contrast.

I like the current setup, however I did see one with the black wheels in the picture and video tab on this forum and it did look sweet. Please post pictures once you have them installed.

I agree they are very nice. I have black rims for first time, I love them and easy to clean. Look cool on a dark car

I have the silver/grey ones you have showing here and I specifically wanted this color because I think the contrast against most colors looks great. Plus, if I ever decide to change, I can get them painted/powder coated in black. Where as this color is not so easily managed because part of the wheel is machined finished and the other is painted ferric grey.

I like both as well. Just happened to come across this video from a Russian Youtuber, also on a full black one and he shows them off well!

Color can be changed from black to Grey as well...so color change can go either direction and not just grey to black

True but going from black to grey isnt as easy because as my note states, the wheel is a combination of machined and grey, unlike the black which is solid black, no machined.

Here you go, posted this a few times elsewhere. This is before being lowered, which is what I am doing next.

If they came in black/machined surface I would insist on them! I do like the gray/machined a bit though...
