Pick a color for my Style 5s.

[T444E]

When I first did them, the color was not meant to be permanent. Now that the car is parked, I can refinish them at my leasure but I don't have a color in mind yet. I still have some Oxford paint but I don't think it'd look good on the centers :dunno

Poke around in here to see how the car looks now

Give me suggestions!

[misswin]

I kinda like em orange, to be honest.... They're... different. Either that, or a dark silver/light grey.

[BoldUlysses]

I'd vote for a gunmetal gray, kind of like DJ's Style 19s:

If I don't sell my Style 19s that's the route I'm going on them.

Clam pink.

Sell me your disco.

Also, I kinda like the gunmetal idea, think it would look good on Style 5s.

Funny story that. I went to the Rover dealer to get a price on a clutch slave because sometimes I have to pump the pedal for it to go into gear. the parts dude was so amazed I had a manual trans D1 that him and half of the service bay went out to look at it in disbelief.

[86GT635]

just strip them and brush them out.

[misswin]

Sorry, went through and deleted the millions of multiposts. Stupid forum.

I believe it. I passed on buying a sorta okay condition one for a good price because I thought I could find a nicer one. Now, I'm getting desperate to find a D1 5 speed period.

MUltI CoLoRZ!

I'd rather have that in the passenger seat.

I like the gunmetal with polished lip idea.

[ShapeShifter]

One of these shade would be interesting on your car.

[T444E]

that could be the intent but it's still advertising... Im a regular over at VWVortex but I don't slap banners here as a respect to this forum

[Sam Son]

Oxford doesnt look good on the rest of the car it wont look good on the wheels...Do gunmetal or bright silver...you could also do a proper gold

[sfgearhead]

Purple.

Neon green.

[AquilaBMW]

Purple.

Neon green.

Plus the Clam Pink.

Actually... an interesting colour might be the M5 Violet Purple thingy

[Sam Son]

Daytona violet or techno violet...either would be very hot..

[Black91m5]

You DO realize that Stanceworks started here on bimmerforums, right? There are countless members with stanceworks sigs, and parodies of them. It's not advertising at all.

[Teeravaller]

Barney Purple is at 4 votes...blowing all the rest away.

Better come through OP. :shifty

[MaxSteel]

Eh I don't think anything other than silver would work well. Maybe a nice mirror polish with some gold RS bolts.

I mean...
barney purple :shifty

[M30Stui]

Cyan with barney purple bolts

silver

[janders211]

Are you lowering the car at all? If the centers are a different color than the lips- especially darker- it highlights the ride height (aka it creates another 'centering point' to show hoe high/low the car is. at current ride height I would not use separate center/lip colors.

I think a silvercenter /polished silver lip would look good regardless of ride height. Some cars can pull off colored wheels well- but an oxford green e34 can't. silver, gold, black, are pretty much it.

Meh lots of people like the orange on the green :dunno

and yea I just ordered new Eibachs for it actually.

The orange doesn't totally clash, it's just that the dark centers highlight the ride height, and it's a 'look at me-not at the car' color.

I can't wait to see it a bit lower. Have you thought about any other wheels other than style 5's?
