Black Wheels on Imola Red Z4M Coupe
I'm thinking if I paint the original wheels black and then later want to sell the car. I can get them repainted in the original silver or alternatively put the car up for sale with the wheels black..

Interestingly and I have no idea why this was produced but you can buy a model in Imola red with the black wheels to match:

Yes, I saw this recently on Amazon and was horrified. What a dreadful looking model!
I've been after a decent Z4M coupe scale model in Iola Red but have not been able to find one until I saw this. Not sure what they were taking as the car has a chrome grill and black wheels, which is obviously not standard.
Its great though to see a model of the car available even if it is a bit of a shocker!

Looks pretty good. Not as good as some other cars that have more black bits on the bodywork (e.g. Elise S2, 991.2 GT3).
I think dark grey looks great too, e.g. this (helps if you have mega APs in red also!).
paulgs1000's Z4M looks good with dark grey 224s, despite being the famously hideous roadster:

Yes fair point and black in my opinion at least (even though I have only 36 posts ..) looks great.

Was going to share some photos of my car but looks like I was beaten to it! Although, I also found a picture with the other 'shoes' on. Not quite black but a very dark grey....

I think you lose the definition of the wheels when there black. Dark grey look better imo with imola.

I like it more than I thought I would. A lot of cars being modded to black wheels and most don't take it as well..
I'm pondering whether a change in colour on a silver/gray coupe to rims in bronze or bronze-gold would work. Will have to do some image searching.

Too much detail in the wheel is lost..... Way to much, BMW's Ferric grey is awesome, Grey in most lights but got some bronze in their too, very cool and really brings out the detail in wheels .

Their RPI, yeah they look great & imo they do sound amazing. They are a bit love or hate them on here but each to their own.
Have a look & listen on YouTube, plenty off clips on there. Tbh they don’t do them justice.

I second the RPI - I have them as well. I have never found them too loud, though many have complained of that.
