Which wheels would you choose with MG?
Here's a link to my prospective build, leaning toward the black accent wheels. But the all silver seem to pop more. Thoughts?

this isn't going to be a very helpful answer but you can't go wrong either way at least for MG.
I've seen MG in person with the black accents and it was stunning. I've also seen pics of MG with the silver wheels and it looked equally as stunning. And the great thing about MG is that when the wheels get dirty then it matches the color of the car |

You're right, that didn't help at all! But true, can't go wrong. I guess I really like the look of the rim design and the black seems to make the rim appear smaller than it really is? But there's something unique about the black too. Oh well, good problem to have. |

it really depends on the angle. If you go to the Pictures/Videos section you'll see quite a few examples of both the silver and the black 19s for the M4 at least (maybe not the M3).
This pic is IMO the best pic of MG with silver wheels: and here is MG with black wheels: one looks classy. one looks mean. both look good. |

I'd go 18s all day long:

I think the 2-tone black wheels go really well with MG, but you cant go wrong with either.

Aaaagh, these photos have me considering a switch from YMB to MG. I just have not been a dark color fan; Missouri in the summer = ton of solar heating. Really struggling with YMB, AW, MG. Definitely going with sport cloth interior.
I agree that both wheels go fine with MG. I think I slightly favor the silver/grey wheels. The 18" are good too.

This would be my dilemma if I was choosing this year, I want the black wheels but I don't think there is enough contrast between the black wheels and mineral grey imo. I wish they still had space grey.
So I hope they come out with a lighter grey or another wheel option next year. |
