Help me choose a rim color

Hey whats up guys! So I'm in the market of purchasing a set of rims for my f30 335i M sport. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what would go good with estoril blue. Right now its between silver, black, bronze and gunmetal. I currently have M performance exhaust with carbon fiber tips, front splitter and rear diffuser in matte black. At one point I figured I might as well go black rims to match the trim but then thought it looks too plain. Anyone have suggestions? I want to go for a clean and a little aggressive look if that makes any sense. Let me know what you guys think.

I'd vote for silver or bronze to go with Estoril Blue, gunmetal would also look nice depending on the style.

What wheels are you looking at?

We're y'all the ones with the EB with bronze wheels? If so, Id 100% say bronze wheels as that car looked amazing!

Here's mine with Renn RS-51 in Graphite.

Right now I'm looking at HRE ff01s or Rotiform BLQ's. Any other suggestions?

definitely HRE FF01's over the Rotiforms.

bronze, gunmetal, hyperblack (black chrome), black would all look good.

HRE's aren't cheap and quite pricey for a flow formed wheel. a lil bit more and you could get volk racing forged which are lighter and stronger. it's a long wait after ordering them, though...

just checked prices on Volks. its more than a lil bit more. HRE FF01's then

I would go bronze, or Gunmetal/Graphite.
I think bronze looks amazing, although gun-metal/Graphite is much more practical as they look clean longer. And it is not as aggressive as Bronze.

Yeah, they say it doesn't fit msport but that's bullshit, as long as you don't have the m performance side skirts, it'll fit.

Nice, then you get rid of the "sandblasting" I have the M-Performance side-skirts so then they won't fit.
Do you think it will be possible to make them fit?
If not there is these, but they are made for the M3 / M4 do you think they will fit on F3X? I am tempted to try for sure, but then I have to order CF side-skirts.

It's a toss up between Bronze, Silver or Gunmetal. All of them look really good on EB. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of black wheels. Pick whatever color is going to have you looking back every time you walk away from your car.
