What do u like better on AW cars?

I was going to get new wheels on my e92 aw coupe but wanted to know what you guys think. I was thinking of BBS reps in silver with polish lip or gold BBS Reps in gold. Linea corsa or chikuras. Pictures will be much appreciated.

i'd say LC lemans in gold. I think AW pulls it off nicely. Never wouldve considered AW, before and now that i'm looking at new wheels myself, i wish i got AW just for gold

Gold can look insane if you have the car to pull it off. It requires an aggressive look though. Silver is always a clean choice, I love Silver LMs with a red centercap.

stay away from the chikaras. I've seen a picture of their wheel all busted up.

i havent seen any busted up LCs so between those two, go with the LCs.

Gold on AW looks amazing... I would absolutely do it. Here's a quick photoshop that Brandon did on this 1 series:



I know they're on CSL's but at least you get a good view of the color.

I agree, silver lip with gold faces but not the darker gold but the hyper goldish sort of gold. Looks clean on AW. I've seen some evo X's around my area with gold wheels on white and it looks sick
