No. BBS used to make a Full Diamond Black Championship Edition wheel back in 95-ish, but they no longer do. I had them on my E92 M3. The wheel face AND the barrel are Diamond Black. Do a search for my old BBS "For Sale" thread from 2012 if you want to see what they look like.

Yep! I love them. I've already received two compliments about the visual appeal of the wheel/brake combo from random passerbys.

....and it has only been 24 hours. Lol!

Where did you get your silver vision bulbs? They blink orange right?

I totally agree with you on the CF mirror caps. I got them installed this morning along with the M-Perf vinyl. Makes the car look more aggressive for sure.

I'm very partial to classic silver, but black wheels do look amazing. Hides the massive brake dust better, that's for sure!

A quick and dirty iPhone snap.

Are the vinyls obviously matte? I'd like to add the vinyls but I'm guessing they would look odd with my front lip since I went with gloss black instead of leaving it matte

They are matte, but they'd still look good on your car though.

Presario, let's do a photoshoot together with Justin after I get my Bilstein suspension installed. Alpine White mod club.

We can title the thread, "Alpine White, 3 times the delight"...

Whatever it takes. LOL! That'll be photoshoot #2 titled, "When 3's a crowd the Ford's allowed!"

Presario · 10-31-2013, 04:07 AM

Dude, a photoshoot with you guys would be awesome! Let's do it! Justin and I will be at SEMA next week so maybe we can get together a week or two after? Looking forward to it!

MadeInSweden · 10-31-2013, 06:25 AM

I do prefer the old ride height..

Anyhow what is your current hight (ground -> fender) and how much was it before? I am deciding on lowering spring or coilovers for my omn F31.
