Avant Garde M310 Matte Gunmetal

RicheyBMW · 10-05-2011, 10:47 PM

Does anyone like this color? I was trying to look for gunmetal rims in this M310 style and it seems like theres only matteblack or the silver. But then I came across this on modbargins where they do have a "matte gunmetal" anyone have pics of this on their car? What is the difference between gunmetal and a matte gunmetal?

gunmetal = gloss finish
matte gunmetal = matte finish

The Avant Garde M310 in the Matte Gunmetal finish was just released last month and is a brand new finish. A standard gunmetal wheel uses gloss clear coat which gives it a bit more shine. The matte gunmetal finish uses a matte clear coat which gives it a matte finish. We've sold a few sets to a couple forum members and are waiting to get pictures back. In the meantime, here are a few live shots of the wheels for you to check out!!!

I love the way the matte gunmetal looks in the pictures I might have to get mine powdercoated now.

The wheels do have a concave design and look great the E9X body. Although these aren't pictures of the Matte Gunmetal finish, it'll still give you an idea of how the wheels will look on the car overall!

Does anyone have pictures of these matte gunmetal rims on a black car? I've tried to search everywhere but still cannot find pictures of them on cars, I'm assuming as mentioned earlier it's because these are a new release.

I've seen other sites that sell this wheel call it "Dolphin Grey". They look exactly the same.

This this matte gunmetal would look good on BSM E92?

Yes, they are the same and we call it Matte Gunmetal as it honestly is a better description for the finish of the wheel.

A darker wheel will definitely make the car more aggressive!!!
