Imola Ghost

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/17725/img_0137.jpg"></center><p>One of my 19" BBS CH's has some slight curbage and it's out of round. I've gotta have it refinished and rounded again. I don't think I'll be happy with getting just one done because I really doubt they will be able to match the BBS color.

Since I need new tires anyways and I need to get one rim refinished I thought I'd go ahead and get them all done at the same time while the tires are going to be off.

I've been trying to pick a color to go with on the BBS's. I've considered:

Shiney black (piano black)
Gunmetal
Bright Silver

For some reason I don't know if these BBS would look good black. I think they may look pretty good with the gunmetal color but I'm still undecided. These rims do look very good in the bright silver that they come in but I'm thinking I may want to try something different.

I think black rims look good when done tastefully on other cars that I see but I don't know if it's for me.

Any helpful advice you guys can come up with to help me with my decision?

Another think is that I'm having a hard time finding the original color code for the BBS rims and I know that BBS won't give it to me so I've got to find a comparible color if I choose the bright silver.

If anyone can photoshop these wheels in the picture shiney piano black then please do.

Thanks!

I know we always get that mod itch and tend to get used to how the car looks. That newness feeling wears off and you want to bring it back. But you've just got to try to think back to when you fist got those wheels on and how it made you feel every time walked up on it in a parking lot. That's how everyone else see's your car. Nice ride, nice wheels. Gunmetal looks good, but how do you tie it in with the rest of the car? Black on black when done right looks good (even though it's starting to get a bit played out), but black on light colored cars can be a bit too much of a contrast...too obvious. Also, from a distance, it can look like you've got stamped steel wheels with the hubcaps taken off. On Imola, I think the silver wheel looks great without attracting too much attention. It gives balance to the overall look of the car. I look at the picture of your car and think...nice!

I'm partial to the silver too, i'd be curious to try gunmetal though. I wouldn't do black because you wont even notice these beautiful rims unless you are up close.

Silver FTW brother~!

Einszett Silber paint matches OEM wheels better than Wurth silver. Not sure about BBS.

I have seen it on a phoenix yellow m3 and it looked great. Either way if you want a place that i know that will fix your wheels perfect contact me via email.

That looks hot as is. I'm with the others here: Silver FTW!

I can't see painting BBS's. It's just me maybe but I've has BBS RS's for 19 years now.
