I would keep them silver but that's my opinion.
Those shades you posted above look too orange |

I think a gunmetal grey would look very classy. A blend between the star-trooper and the silver look. Since your car is silver and you have the black wrappings, it would be a good compliment. Photoshop it like you did with the colored wheels. Below is a link from the M6 forum of a guy who powder coated his. I think they are fantastic looking. Even for stock rims.
Btw, it is my humble opinion that your car is one of the better looking ones on this forum. How about adding a signature with all the mods you have done. Thanks, L |

I never even considered bronze wheels until the other week I saw a white 550i (G30 chassis) with dark bronze wheels and I fell in love. I think your car looks good as is but a dark bronze would be cool!
This was the color, roughly. |

I would agree with the above ^. The liquid metal look on silver looks pretty damn good.

Definitely Neither
Hi, new to the forum. I also agree that the gunmetal would suit your Silver car better than bronze or gold, plus there's no real tie-in to the off-colored wheels on your whip.

Well, light color cars benefit from dark wheels or flat-bronze, like that M3 board posted.
I'm rocking Platinum Bronze on my Singapore Gray and it's growing on me. - Leo. |

Oh, one other thing I should mention, one of my neighbors has a white M4 sitting on gold wheels. I'll try to snap a picture sometime and post. It looks great..
I know your car is not white, but light-color. |

Although it's your car, as long as you're looking for opinions, I think both of the ones originally posted are far too bright and vibrant. I agree with others that anything in silver/grey scale would be the best way to go, but if you're set on something in this color range, the one xxTHIR13ENxx posted does look much better. |

Accents look man. I would lol at another color for the wheels to complement your accents. Since your brakes are already gold you would want a darker viler like the gunmetal on the wheels. So when the wheels are spinning you see the brakes clearly behind the wheel. Yo me doing the wheel in that same color is a bit overkill.

Not a great picture, but had it on this computer. I wanted something very subtle so went with powder coating called way black. Very happy with the results, now If I can just find a good solution to toning down the side markers and door handle trims I will be happy(er).
