Lads, just looking for opinions as I have not come to a conclusion on this yet.
Have a set of dished style 24's that are currently plasti dipped black.
Not sure whether to keep them that colour or go with OEM or something else.
So fellow E36 aficionados - a poll! Hurrah :P
(Not my car..just for reference)

OEM

OEM all the way for me
OEM Staggered with polished lip and silver center. :cool:
I think that Boston Green works well with Black! But all 3 mentioned look great; black, silver, silver centre and polished lip!
Was having a quick Google and stumbled upon the image below.
Thought gold with a polished lip, might work, but thinking about it, Im not sure if it would work with Motorsports!

Just added the poll there :blush:
Yeah see I agree with all comments so far.
OEM + polished lip is a winner! But has it been over done?
Black looks good but is there too much black going on around the wheel?
Gold - Well I think style 5 and gold centers are a winner, not so sure on motorsports as they don't lend themselves to differing colours? That being said there is a set on e36coupe.com that have a polished lip and subaru gold/yellow center that look well. No pics of them on a car though.
I guess the reason this is a big deal to me is that if I go black I'm thinking right we'll go aggressive with the styling and if I go with OEM then it would be more the clean euro look.
Hmmmm......any other thoughts? Thanks for the replies so far! :)
Bastardised motorsports have been over done!
I have two lovely sets and this is my third set over all. So I do like them. What would you class as bastardised? Anything bar OEM?Quote:

Personally I think back doesn't suit Boston Green. Even though it's name is Boston Green Metallic it's actually a pearl colour so it needs a lot of light to make it look its best. The black wheels for me add a lot of darkness and make the colour look duller.
Then again I've never seen black wheels with boston green in person and it's hard to judge from a picture. Bring both sets to a meet Dave and we can see from there :P
OEM. Black looks wrong.
I agree but I can't say why though?:huh:Quote:

I'd say they would look nice!!!! Different to standard centre and polished lip and I'm not mad on black
Wheels cos i think u end up loosing the look of most wheels in black
Look cool thumbsup :cool:
Anyone handy with photoshop that could give us a better idea of those wheels on a car?
really depends on what way your going with the car.
Stanced - Polished lip coloured centers
Track/street look - Black and aggresive
OEM - well, speaks for itself, keep them oe
Yeah I'd be very interested to see that also. We all know wheels can look good but on is a different story.Quote:
