    E39 Style 32s colour opinion?

    I'm thinking of refurbing the style 32's and making them gloss black while I'm at it, what do yous think? And anybody know of a good place around Cork? As wheel wizards are farrrr away

    Here's a pic of one on a silver e36, they're not quite gloss black but gives you an idea



    Here's how they look like at the moment:

    Im going Antracite with the set I have but cars Silver so it will work better, not sure it works so well on your car. I think Black be lost aswell so I would go OEM Silver Peter.

    Needs more low

    Cheers guys, yes so much low!

    Yea I'm thinking details will be lost with the black alright.. Might be nice with black grills and ambers, but not planning on doing that so maybe oem silver is the way to go!

    I brought my spare wheel(style 32) for a refurb
    here in Limerick and the result was
    horrible with curb marks still visible.
    It's a lesson well learned. Go with
    Wheel Wizards as there's nobody
    that will do it properly except them.

    Cheers for the heads up John! Sorry to hear it didn't come out as you wanted.

    Austin: not a fan of black centres and chrome / silver lip. Reminds me of all the horribly done up shit fast and furious wanna be cars. It'd be cool if they hadn't ruined it. I'm curious about plasti dipping though.. I wonder would it give it that freshly refurbed look?

    Far away it looks grand. Up close I personally don't like the look of it as it's a different looking texture than the eye expects ie a metal surface. if that makes sense?

    RE: E39 Style 32s colour opinion?

    Hiya there Peter, storyyyy ??? Long time no seen bud
    Very good choice of wheels sir, love Style 32s. They are in my top three OEM wheels with Style 21s (throwing stars) and Turbines.
    As far as colour is concerned +1 on OEM silver. If you look at Austin's or Ghostek's E36 they just look deadly gorgeous ! But... you need to go low low low low
    If you wished another colour a little different Nogaro Silver like my BBS ?
