Bit of a poll folks as I want to refurb my wheels so I think I'll change the colour too. Some pics here and I am edging towards shadow chrome first pic but also like the dark grey (front wheel pic) too but not sure if it's too dark! Let me know your thoughts thanks.

I'd go for shadow/black chrome on a black car. I don't think the pictures are showing the true colour of shadow chrome.
 
My neighbour has black alloys on black car, not my taste.

But option 4 of a metallic dark shade on black actually looks good, option 4 gets my vote :thumb:

Ohhh now I've got a dilemma ha. I was along the shadow chrome choice because I thought the shape and curves of my wheels would work well with that colour. I can also make the shadow chrome darker if I like because they could put less silver on which is also an option. I really like the others too but just think it could be too dark as I seen an identical car to mine with black wheels which looked pants imo.

Personally I like dark wheels on a dark car. Especially if you paint the calipers' it really makes them pop.

This is mine, ignore the red center caps they are gone now. I need to get some better shots from the side, this shot does not really show the wheels very well.

Wow that's a batmobile cool
 
They are 20" Carlsson 1/10 UL. I am actually changing them for HRE P103's as I got the Carlssons before I did the wide body so I am running large spacers at the moment.

Edit. I guess you were talking to carat about the 19's

Correct. Your motor is bad ass and I love it. But isn't black hard work to keep clean. I guess black wheels though are quite good at hiding brake dust etc.
 
Actually that is one of the reasons I went with black. I have some black wheels on my E46M3 and even though if you touched them they were dirty you couldn't really see it. With the Brembos they give off a lot of dust and I was always having to wipe the silver wheels.
