Help!! Refinishing ADV1 wheels need finish ideas

[Iluvspl]

Hey guys I have an alpine white m6 coupe with full vorsteiner body kit and adv1. I am having my wheels refinished tomorrow and what to get ideas on finishes. I am keeping the lips polished but not sure on centers and inner barrels. Currently it is a brushed clear center but was thinking something darker for more contrast and sportier look. I will take all suggestions you have but need to know by tomorrow morning.

Nice ride. How much contrast are you looking for? I have seen a brushed bronze color on a white car that looked pretty decent. There is also gunmetal colors as well as blacks. I would take a look at the modified threads in the M5/M6 chat to see if you like anything.

Oh and btw, whenever you have them refinished, make sure to send pics or feel free to show up to one of our local meet ups.

Thanks for the input guys. I really like the brushed look of the center so I would like to keep that effect. Part of me is thinking of keeping it how it is just refinish everything. I am thinking possibly a tinted clear for the center. Part of me really likes this but not sure if I would long term and not sure the could do it.

I have those exact wheels in allmost the same color on white car. I think it looks fantastic, and surely and M6 with ADVs in that color will draw attention if that's what you're looking for.

Ok so decided to keep the brushed clear center and polished lips. It just looks great and love the brushed center effect. Now question is to I clear coat the lips or leave them raw polished? The wheel guy said the clear coat is much easier maintenance but will noticeably dull the finished compared to raw polished. I live in Florida and live in a condo that is is]n a parking garage on the ocean. I don't drive a ton maybe 19miles a day commute. I was the car weekly and am a clean freak but not sure how much work the un coated lips would be.

Wheels look great, I would do a darker clear coat on the face and thats it! Thats what I went with on my ADV1 set looks great IMO..
