Black Wheels on Alpine White F12 Coupe???

I would appreciate a few comments, thoughts and advices on this topic.
I am considering painting black (by a recognised specialist Wheels workshop) the spokes and rims on my 20 inch 343's. I fancy a 'gloss' appearance. Should it be spokes only. Rims only, both OR not at all???
Cheers

Hey Pinky - your M looks cool with the stripes - white with black wheels looks good but they get dirty pretty quick and don’t look so great…unless you have CCB’s!

Keep it OEM.

I powder coated my clients wheels to gloss black.
I like the result !!
I also painted all the trim pieces black to match and the brake calipers I changed to yellow to help pop some more.

Damn I have same exact callipers lol, but those black emblems are ugly, and so are those tinted side reflectors, needs to be white.

White with all black rims would be cool.

Coupe is F13 . Convertible is F12
I have seen white M6 Coupe with matt black 343M rims in person and it looks fantastic.

Mine is Apline white with the matte black 343M rims. I like the look alot but if they were glossy black it would be perfect. Not a fan of the matte.

Black rims are a personal preference ... My 2015 S63 was orderd with black rims as my 22s were brilliant metallic silver ... Still was not a big fan .. Thus 2016 M6 cab with stock rims and gun metal brush 21s


Not nocking it ... All comes down to personal preference ... If you like the look you can't go wrong
