Black Wheels on Imola Red Z4M Coupe

Post by nickw6666 » Wed Aug 30, 2017 9:32 pm

I'm considering repainting my standard 18" Z4MC wheels gloss black.

My car is Imola Red and wondered if anyone else has done this and if so do they have any photos they can post showing the car with black wheels.

I don't think it would work for every car colour but I'm thinking Imola Red is one which would suit black wheels.

I know its not standard but to me it would seem to an easy modification and can be returned to standard wheel colour pretty easily.

Would welcome fellow members thoughts on this...

Cheers..

Not a fan of black wheels myself buddy but there are lots of images on google but none that I could find of a red coupe with black 224s

Works for me on my interlagos coupe, just make sure you get black grills to complete the look.

I think black wheels look good as long as the tyres are cleaned and dressed to match. Hate the look of them with grey dirty tyres..it just looks wrong.

Hope these help. I bought the car intending to refurb the wheels in factory colour but when it came to it I stuck with gloss black. I think it worked.

Wow JMS05, your car looks totally awesome! :thumbsup:

Thanks to all for the pics and thoughts. I really like the black wheels and with Imola Red I think they look amazing..

I am pretty much convinced I need to go with Black. the wheels can always be repainted standard silver etc.

I think the black wheels look great with this colour. Maybe worth getting some black aftermarket and keeping the originals for when you want to sell it. Previous owner of mine had E92 M3 wheels on it in some of the ad photos and they looked great but I much prefer the original wheeels.
