I'm booked into have my wheels refurbed on Monday, and considering going Cerium Grey and polished with a satin lacquer finish as I've got a Cerium Grey front grille fitted (I much prefer the contrast to the white vs. chrome or black).

I'm in two minds though - do people think the black inserts with polished fronts and high gloss lacquer suits the car better, or would the Cerium Grey suit the Mineral White paint better / match the grille :

All opinions and thoughts appreciated!

The choice of wheels and finish is such a personal decision. That's why there is a wheel out there for every preference. You will be undoubtedly 100% satisfied with whatever decision you make. It's your car - which looks fantastic by the way.

Thanks cfm56d7b

I guess sometimes we just need some affirmation we're doing the right thing

Gun to your head - which would you pick? "Stick or twist"

Late to the game but I have the bi-color Cerium/Black rims and they look fantastic on my Tanzanite Blue (with black/carbon fiber trim). They should be stellar on Mineral White with your Cerium grill.

Small detail. Big difference.

Not the best lighting as it was getting dark when I picked it up - I'll take some more when I clean it at the weekend, but definitely makes the eyes focus more on the paint which is what I wanted!

Looks great, I’m considering a change from black to Cerium myself. Did you use a powder coating?

No they'll have been sprayed - I used a company in the UK who are renowned as the best in the business when it comes to wheels, and they do OEM colour matching, so they'll have been shot blasted, prepped and painted, diamond cut, and then satin lacquer applied. Looks like they've just come off the production line from BMW!

Wow. Hard to believe they are the same wheel. You 100% made the right choice. Looks awesome.

[Beemer5to3]

Gave the car a proper clean today - so pleased with the wheels! £550 well spent

[MELLOWYELLOW06]

Looks fantastic.

Great choice.

If you are undecided do both - two on the right side, two on the left.
