Anthracite CSL's on Silver Coupe?

Post by Clueless1 » Mon Jan 28, 2013 2:29 pm

I treat myself to a set of CSL reps last year but I'm debating whether to get them powder coated in Anthracite! I think that silver cars really suit darker wheels (not sure whether I'd go to black as I feel the detail gets lost).

Anyway I was just wondering if any of you Photoshop Wizards would be so kind as to tint my wheels on this photo to anthracite? It might save me a costly mistake! :?

Go for the shadow chrome like the mcoupe and the m5, still dark but look awesome and still sort of OEM

Recently went for matt black 18" CSL reps. Would have gone for a dark silver, but at the price I couldn't say no.

Dark wheels look good on lighter coloured coupes. There was a similar thread last week have a quick look can't remember what it was called. I would give the same advice have a look at beedubs car

That looks spot on. Silver has the reputation for being dull but on a car with so much design detail as the Z4, it's one of the best colours IMO. Do it!

I wonder how they would look on a black Coupe.

My mate has a black A5 with the grey turbines on and I think it looks good.
