Here are some pictures from a true black wheels lover for reference:

Hi! Thanks for the reply.

Those are the 17" i received with the car stock. I used plastidip myself to do it (first time ever) just for fun meanwhile im out looking for a set of 18"s ...

Our roads are very crappy here so i think 19" will be too much.

After i get the 18"s i will bring them to be professionaly dipped .. i do like the mate look over the shinny , but i agree that the look small as for now! =)

Thanks for the reference links .. those look big and shinny indeed!

Cheers!
Jon

Many thanks ! HNY

I have a F20 120d LCI xDrive, Glacier silver metallic today, but I'm looking in to change the colour on it. Any thoughts? I'm thinking Fire Orange or a kind of matte paint used on the M cars. Also, for summer I just purchased the M405 wheels in 19" as well.

Edit: Was thinking Valencia Orange or Sakhir Orange maybe?

Hello everyone! I'm newbie to this forum! This is my first ever BMW and it's just 24-days-old! The photos aren't of the best quality (iPhone) but I'll keep in touch and post some more in due time! Greetings from Greece! *edit: Forgot to mention the color: Platinum Silver Metallic

[Weiman]

Kudos for choosing an unusual color. Looks very classy, I like it!

I recently picked this 125i up. So far I am loving it.

It is a long tradition to pick brave interior colours in the smallest BMWs. It was popular in the 3 series Compact, and now the one series.

[samm134]

To be honest, in the flesh the red isn't that bright.

I love it though.

And my another F20...

Looks great!!

I'm after a set of Koya for my M135i but not sure what offsets to spec up.

I'll be fitting 235/40/18 255/35/18 on them on stock Adaptive M suspension. Fat performance tyres like RS-3 or Federal RS-RR which are wider than the numbers suggest, so I'm concerned about potential rubbing issues.

Do you think these tyres will clear the fenders with your ones?

Us too; business on the outside (grey), party on the inside; except for the wood; that's not allowed.

We could start a fundraiser to buy him some m performance trim so that the wood will be replaced

They look great and I'm sure you will love how they perform! Did your pedal feeling change? Mine became really spongy after upgrading from normal (not Msport) to these M Performance ones and I'm looking for a solution. Any ideas?

Spongy brakes are usually caused by air in hydraulics. Needs to be bled again.
