Ellipsoids 18 Colour change

[Radyn]

Hi

So i got myself a set of 18'' Ellipsoids.

I am playing around with the idee of colour change.
I also like the rims in original colour.

What do you think will look best on the Silver BMW E46

1st: Black Chrome

Haven't seen it before so not sure if there is a place Cape Town who could do this.

2nd: Gunmetal grey

3rd: Original colour

Just i picture i took from internet not the rims

4th: Not 100% sure of colour almost same as Number 2

Getting the rims tomorrow and will see how it sits on the car

Original wheel colour is closest to Titan Silver, it will flow well with the car. Put the wheels onto the car first and then decide via photoshop.

 

[ChefDJ]

For a silver car I'd say original colour.

 

[HitokiriZed]

I like black wheels - a nice satin black would contrast well with the silver IMHO.

Love the ellipsoids look :clapper:

 

[TheMo]

I'd say the gunmetal or black, Personally I think silver works really well with dark accessories :rollsmile:

 

[JadielM]

Gunmetal ftw. Stock silver is a safer option, though...

 

[Radyn]

I will post pictures with the rims fitted to the car and ask friend to do a bit of photoshop.

I am leaning towards keeping it std

 

[Gizmo]

Keep them silver.

What color you guys recommend on a white car. I bought Andy's set some time back. Not on the car yet.......

 

[Nick]

Keep them silver.

Looks like you have an incorrect facing tyre there Giz

Keep the wheels stock, black makes them look small.

 

[OppositeLockMT]

I'd say keep the original, a part of me regrets painting mine black in the first place.

Satin black :thumb:

 

[Yuben]

I went for gloss black :chef:

So couriers finaly drop the rims off yesterday

I couldn't wait so i fit it to the one side to see how it will looks.

New VS Old

Next will be to have them respray and fit new tyres.
Will be keeping the same colour.

I suggest u get a can of plasti-dip ,R190 each. I got mine a few weeks back from the Boksburg flea market.

maybe spray one wheel and see how it looks, if you are not happy with it , you can always peel the paint off your wheel and keep it original without potentially causing irreversible damage to your very beautiful wheels.

if happy with the outcome, then you can always apply more durable paint work.

here are my wheels dipped in black,and once im fed up with the look i will simply peel the paint off. in total i used 3 cans, @ 5 layers each wheel.

good luck!

looks hot on your car, keep them in the stock color
