Hello. I purchased a Alpine White e36 4Door M3 with Dove Grey Interior about 1 month ago. To make a long story short, i picked up these rims for next to free basically($150) with tires that i need to replace. They are made by IKON wheels. 18x8 Front/18X9 Rear with i believe 35 or 38 offset. They are a gunmetal color with polished lip but i was wondering if i should keep this color or change it? Keep in mind my car has a Black Vinyled roof.....
All opinions/comments welcome. Sorry no pictures of my car yet. Here's a picture of the rims taken with an iPhone(bad quality).
Please vote, THANKS!

Not black or black with polished lip, it just looks cheap and played out.

That looks more like hyper silver than it does gunmetal. But my "Other" vote is gunmetal with gloss black lip. Like these V-306s. My favorite wheel ever :D

for me probably somewhere near darkgray or what they call "hyperblack" white on silver is common, yes pretty but sometimes its good to be also different. darker color rims should have more presence rather than contrast, but it depends on you :)

Long story short. I went with Black center and kept the lips polished. It seem'd to fit the theme best since i am getting my roof vinyl'd black next week, kidneys are black, moldings are black and so sorth. Its supposed to rain tommorrow so once the weather clears up i will wash it up and take pics. It actually looks pretty good even though "its played out" as some would say. Each to their own i guess. I like it....im sure some of you will as well as some of you will hate it.
THANKS for ALL the opinions/help!
