Calling all White M-Sports

Sorry for discriminating all other colors but looking for different color wheels for Alpine white. I feel like black won't look as good as it would on a black car. I'm leaning towards silver or gunmetal. I do plan on doing x5m calipers too

Personally if I was going custom wheels I'd go metallic gunmetal or BMW Ferris grey I believe is the color for the older X5 21's

I have a white M-sport, with the 467M wheels. I've thought about switching to something a little sharper for summer, and I like the look of black wheels - especially with black grilles (mine are the stock chrome grilles). My main reservation is that the "black-on-white" color scheme is a little too common where I live; I see tons of Jeep Grand Cherokees done up that way. I'll have to come up with something that's more unique, if I decide to go custom. I think a gunmetal grey-on-white would look really sharp and not be a "me too" look.

My $.02

Yes that's what I'm thinking too. I might do silver wheels for winter and gunmetal for summer.

I feel the same way. My m3 was white on black and I really want to do the same with my X5 but everyone is doing it now. I'll probably still do it though if I can find someone to trade me 😀

I agree - I am not a huge fan of black wheels to begin with as I think you lose 90% of the detail of the wheels to black, but I like them least on a white car.

All totally personal preference though - some love and some don't - you have to figure out what you like.

I like silver on white, so there is my vote - but it is seen as old school now days.

I'm about to powder coat my stock 469M black also only because of the black accents I already have in the grill, roof rails, window trim etc. Yes every other white care might be doing it but to me it's cleaner looking.

My choices are silver or gunmetal. Silver for winter and gunmetal for summer. I needs more pics though 😩

I have white M50D and BMW Individual 551's for summer.

I have also freshly renewed 623M waiting for winter tires to be mounted.

I like 551, but I'll probably repaint them similarily to 623M - polished front and black interior.

Satin black, instead of gloss black. Dark enough without losing much of the details

My car with 22" reps. It's actually 2 different cars, but we had to return the 35i to CarMax because of some issues and got the 50i in mineral white instead.

Bronze wheels will look good on a white car also.
