5th gen wheel color.

The white wheels on the RWB is the NUTS! That's one of the best color combos going. I would do something with my wheels but cosmetics are wasted when everything gets covered in dirt anyway. My black wheels look universally beige.

 

Love the glossy black...

 

Yea there's staying with black too, but man when you have an opportunity to play it up different, I tend to run with it. But Holy Cow, is there a lot of shades of bronze or what. I mean not on VFRs, just in wheel color alone. http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=997618
But that Ice black is pretty sharp too.

But Damn this bronze is starting to get the better of me. http://i.imgur.com/wsUo4br.jpg

 

Overload...Overload.
warning.
Ice black is amazing.
Good luck Jay

 

Is black the stock wheel color for 5th gen Y2K?

 

I would do the bronze metallic on a red bike.

 

Yes it is.

 

No pics, however my order of preference would be...

1. Dark Gold
2. Gun-metal
3. Glossy Black
4. White

 

I know this is what your going for.....it will look great

 

I passed up on a glossy black ready to go 8 spoke for my 5th gen, thinking it would not pop enough, and not be worth it. Looking at this pic though changes my mind. It looks nice.

 

Thank you, the second picture is what I just added

 

Next is to figure out this to shiny vs. matt / flat look . I'm leaning towards shiny, I like the ice black in that photo, thing is that's a photo, what it looks like in daylight mounted up will be another thing. I do believe that color hue makes it pop all the more with out it being over the top l also like the liquid bronze. Now to find an outfit that will work with me, me being anal.

 

Ice black looks like it's reflecting light from above (inside)...would like to see it outside with natural light ....I'd go shiny.
Both colors, you cant go wrong.....

 

Found a reputable powder coating outfit, and when I was talking to em about colors, Ice Black first, I made him see it for himself on the inter-net. I was surprised LOL he wants it for a project he's personally working on. He's never seen this color before. Then if that wasn't enough he was also impressed with the liquid Bronze, in that he did say that one is a 3 step process. but for now he's on a mission to find the black ice, he told me he will do this on his own he liked it that much.. Now for looking for the paint , Is cool, he has got a week.

 

Wow, awesome..... is he going to prep it for you also? Excited for ya

 

I'm pretty sure this is the color I'm doing my rims (this is my buddy's frame for an RD350 project he's doing)

 

Is that your water heater?

 

I take it you're not a fan of the color? LOL

I wanted to go for something different than the usual red / blue etc ...

 

Yep I thought about adding a copper hue to the bronze myself. that's not a bad way to go.

 

No actually I like it ALOT..that would look bitchen in a high glossy wet finish. Do it and maybe I'll do the same
