MAYBEN Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Alrighty, I believe I've narrowed it down to a specific wheel.. just not sure if I want to go with Silver or Black.. I really love the way the silver looks, but I've been thinking about going black/black on the car.. If the Breyton Race GT's were still available, it would be a no brainer.. I wouldn't mind going staggered, but the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 is not available in 275/30/20.. I'm trying to make a decision by Sunday night so I can order them and have them this week...

egott_91 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I've never been a fan of all black wheels, so my vote goes silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 I think these look phenomenal, however you cannot get them anymore.. this is a reason I'm considering all black.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike690001 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Silver, and the plasti-dip them black if you get bored with the look. 07RS4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlack151 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Buddy, please go with the silver ones. As much as I love black on black I'm just over it. Those silver ones just look so classy and still aggressive. If your G8 was red or grey or any other color than black then I would possibly suggest the black wheels. Silver my man......silver! Now go order them. 07RS4 and Mongosg8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryC Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Get the silver. if you don't like them, send them to me and I'll, uh, ship them back for you. Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihaveacamaro Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 silver. If you're getting aftermarket wheels, one thing you might be looking for is separating yourself from the crowd. But just about everyone, their mother, and their mother's mother has "black on black." It's almost like you would buy something aftermarket and look a lot more like everyone else on the road lol. Go silver: classy and you won't feel nauseated of the look after 6 months. JHL88 and 07RS4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckster Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Go for the Silver..... Classy, timeless look that will make your American made car stand out in a "sea of blacked out ricers" that pollute the roads of NJ. The black rims will be "dead" next summer...... IMHO they are old this summer. Pop these babies on, wax up the ride and post a pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralfy Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Silver is sexy. Its a clean look. Imo black out is over done now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongosg8 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Nick .. go with the silver.. it still looks mean..plus it has a touch of class with silver. Dave is right the murdered out look is starting to get old and played out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECaulk Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 My vote is for Black, I love the black rims on a black car. I loved the look way before it became the fad, if they had a color like Enkei's Hyperblack (partial to the color, these are my rims) http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/BigPic.jsp?wheelMake=Enkei+Performance&wheelModel=M52&wheelFinish=Hyper+Black can't get the image to post correctly still learning this forum software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 alrighty, it looks like I'll be going with the Silver.. After seeing all the feedback, discussing it with my Wife, and blah blah, Silver will look best. With that said, if the Breyton Race GT was still available, I would be getting that in black all day! There are a few wheels that look very similar to the Breyton's, but they're all chinese.. At least the Breyton's are German. Now I'm awaiting confirmation from Tire Rack to check with their team to confirm fitment and whatnot, and hopefully they'll give me a break on the price since I've had issues with the current set-up from them..

MAYBEN Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 and of course Tire Rack calls me today to tell me that their 'engineers' say there will be issues.. they're designed for cars with bolts instead of lugs and that the 'special' lugs that make it work may cause peeling in the seats of the holes.. yet, there are plenty of G8s that have Breyton's and haven't appeared to have any issues.. I'm wondering if it's because Breyton wants to be exclusive to BMW that they 'deny' fitment.. He said I could get them, but would not have any warranties.. WTF!!!!!
