I'm a huge fan of the 398's - i'm running the same combo

Are you after aftermarket or oem alloys? The 405 alloys seem to look good.

Please, never, put the words 'mineral grey' and 'really nice' in the same sentence again.

Thank you.

I've never been a big fan of black wheels… they make the tyres look brown.

My personal opinion is that dark grey wheels on a dark grey car don't look too great either, need a bit of contrast.

I'd go for lighter grey/silver, or black/dark grey with diamond cut face, so you have that contrast.

But that's just my £0.02 and clearly many disagree as black wheels are pretty common.

My wife has a Daytona grey Audi A6 S Line, very similar to BMW mineral grey. She's got the 20" option wheels on that in silver and the silver looks great against the grey.

Granted alloy wheels were always usually silver and got rather common, but against the grey I really like the look.
Against any lighter paint colour though I think darker wheels are better, but dark paint I think lighter wheels suit.

Yeah, although you can probably go a little bit darker, just as long as the wheels are lighter than the bodywork.

But if silver wheels aren't for you then that's no good. Gotta go with what you love the look of.

I think the 704m suit really well:

Not everyone's cup of tea but black wheels do look good in the flesh especially with the other gloss black parts on the m sport versions like the window trims etc

2CRO4TV · 06-22-2021, 07:04 AM

624m no other choice 😉

Mineral grey definitely looks better with silver wheels.

Was going to go with a dark bronze which also works really well on MG

What size wheels and tires. I keep looking at you car, I really like those wheels.

APEX ARC-8's in Hyper Black

Hyper black - nice! Looks a bit like shadow chrome

I've got satin gunmetal wheels on my Mineral Grey, I was a little apprehensive when I first put them on, but they've grown on me.
