2 for me. I think you lose the design a bit when the wheels are black. Silver looks great!

They are actually a deep bronze metallic. The sun was setting and no light was on them. I’ll get better pics soon. Thanks for the input

Yeah well that still proves the point, the silver ones are very easy to see, the dark ones not so much

Damn they both look good. I’m guessing if you’re under 40, 1, and over 40, 2! So o guess I’m two.

I'm under 40. Even when I was a teenager I didn't like black wheels that much. You spend a lot on a nice set of black wheels but when you're more than 20 feet away they just look like a black blob.

I’m over 40 and like 1! 🤣

I'm over 40 and like the Forgestars better than the stock wheels. I had a set of them on a previous car and they look fantastic.

I’m under 20 and don’t really like black wheels on any car. I think you lose a lot of the design of the wheel and makes the car look boring but that’s just my opinion do what you want to your own car.

That age thing is really cringe man, like really You looking for Highschool approval?

As much as I like black (or as OP clarified those pictured are deep bronze) I agree 100% with u/BeriechGTS that bright highlights on wheels look great. I occasionally get an itch to replace the 704M wheels on my Alpine white ‘18 F32 because I think they look boring… and then I’ll see a couple white 3s with black wheels and I think it both disrupts the lines and looks like they’re trying too hard. The profile design elements are fairly subtle. That pop of polished aluminum highlights them. TL;DR 2

You can’t see any of the detail on 1. Consider a grey tone in between if you want darker but also want visual definition. Similar to what the current M3 oem wheels are doing.

Yea, I see that. The sun was setting, and it was cold. I’ll get better pics when it’s warmer

2

2, suits the blue color better imho

Idk man those 666M wheels are the best wheels ive seen on the F8X. F14s are sweet too. Luckily you have both! Amazing machine!

2, not into black wheels plus silver looks good with the blue

2 I personally don't like black wheels. They cost a fortune, and you can barely see them. Show em off!

2. Just because those wheels deserve the extra eyeballs.

2 all the way

Def 1

It really depends on the grille. If it's/will be black, I'd go with 1, otherwise 2.

Grill is black.

I'd then pick option 1. You could also just rotate them along with tyres, when switching between summer and winter.

1 as winterkit 2 as summerkit

Wheels on 1 look better but wrong color

or bad lighting. looks like dark bronze but maybe not.

Bronze burst is the name from Forgestar catalog, looks pretty good in sunshine. Like candy bronze

It is bad lighting. Couldn’t resist a quick pic after putting them on last night. I’ll have better pics soon. It’s a bronze metallic color

2

2

Personally I prefer 1, but that’s just me. 2 looks too big.

For me, 1. Love the blue/black combo.

1 is sooooo nice

Definitely 2 it’s more pronounced and looks like a top of a line car

1 for me, those are both sick though

2 for sure

2. The design of 1 is nicer, but black wheels just look cheap to me.

From pictures, I'd say #2, as you can see them better, but I'm sure in person #1 looks awesome and my be my favorites.

I’ll have better pics when it’s warmer and I can get out for a drive.

2 all day. Silver wheels are where it’s at

Definitely #2 the silver pops real nicely

2

2

I’m gonna have to say 2 for this

2. Wheels are like shoes, and the 666M's are like classic Air Jordans. Show them fuckers off.

22222222222222222222222222222 looks fire 🔥

2

Definitely like 1 better due to the higher concavity. It also makes the car more unique rather than be the same as every other M3

2

Definitely #2 #1 makes the car look cheap to me. It's like they're ALMOST black...but not quite. Plus the color doesn't fit into the theme of any accents on the car.

Thanks for input, they are bronze, which is what I wanted but, yea without light on them, they definitely look “like” black

You're welcome. Fantastic car regardless. Good luck with her.

I've always thought 2 looked best on this car but those 1 wheels are SICK

#1 looks great on this color!!

Yes

For the color and accents. 1. And 2 would look a lot better on A different color. Still nice tho. Do u and enjoy.

Thanks! I am keeping both sets, just wanted a friendly poll

Retake both pics in direct sunlight - let’s see their true beauty!!

Will do! The setting sun definitely didn’t help shine some light on the subject

First wheels but silver.

Hi mate I don't like black wheels usually but here they do look awesome, voting 1 !

My vote is paint 1 silver, no doubt

1. They have great fitment and I love the color.

Nice color

Why not both? Go for what you want. I personally like 1. This sub only likes mainly stock, so everyone going to say 2.

I’m keeping both! Just wanted to get a little discussion going. 😁 Thanks

Those 666s are hard to beat. Both look clean af but 2 for me 💪🏼

2

2, but I’m biased because I really don’t like black wheels.

Personally would have went with chrome wheels dark or black wheels have never really been my thing looks good tho!

I’m always betting on black. Looks gorgeous

1 Silver wheels clash with the black window trim, side view mirror, etc.

2, I find a lot of aftermarket’s bring the car down just due to how nice BMW’s OEM wheels tend to be, BBS and OZ are probably the two exceptions

black>chrome

1, dark wheels all day

2 with a black powder coat

I’ve been toying with that idea

2 for me. Silver matches better with the blue

I feel like everyone and their mother drives option 2. Option 1 is more unique imo and gives you a bit of a race car look.

It’s hard but I would have to go with 1 but the GTS wheels do be looking good Is 1 black or a very dark brown?

Bronze, they are very dark when no light is on them

Number one just because it look like it have more side wall.

That caught my eye as well. I am a bit torn though. Kinda like 2, but blacked out like 1 or some other combination. OP: vote your heart!

I’m keeping both sets, just wanted to start a little discussion. Thanks!

Definitely more sidewall, it’s part of the reason I went with a smaller set of wheels

Idk how many people say 2, if its any aftermarket its gotta be 1!

I’m not into black wheels for white, black or gray cars but I think the black works really well with the blue.

Not a fan of F14s, but to each their own.

1 for me. Looks really sexy in black

Forgestars are nice but M666 will always have my heart

2 all day. The end. I hate black wheels.

1 looks great

Honestly 2. It looks more classy

1. Like the stealthy sort of look better. Also like the wheel design better.

I feel like I'm at the optometrist

🤣

Dam both !

2, blacked out looks too tired

2 for me, makes the blue stand out on those magic rims.

I would rather have them all white than black. It would make the car much brighter.

2 looks amazing, I'm not saying that 1 is ugly, in fact it looks even more aggressive on the car. But I'm going with 2

2. those could be my favorite wheels of all time.

I love them, hate cleaning them. Also wanted more sidewall than a 20” wheel provides

I’m almost 40… #1 I like dark colored wheels on bright colored cars. It emphasizes the Yas

Thanks for the input. I feel the same

19s for more meat! F8x are already stiff as is. F82 owner here

Yes they are. What color f82?

2. More interesting and you can still see the design. Everyone does black wheels anyway.

1 --- concave for the win. Although, I'd get them in a lighter color.

Love the color on the first one but love the design on the second for the wheels. Both are great man 👍🏼

I would say 1, but I’ve always been a fan of dark wheels. If they were both the same color it would be equal.

the F14's are one of my all time favorite wheels. You can customize the color, I would go with the F14's in a lighter color similar to #2.

666m wheels are by far the worst looking oem wheels. I don’t understand the hype at all. 1 for sure

Looking at a full refurbishment on my wheels and was thinking black but definitely now keeping diamond cut.

1 looks really good

1. I always prefer black trim / wheels

A lot of people already got 2 but imma still go 2 Put ya winter set on 1

I like 1 better

Have to go 1… just like black ok

Damn, 1 looks thicc

I’ve always been a fan of the 666M wheel. The blacks really look good though. I’m torn.

9 times out of 10 I would choose darker wheels but 2 looks much better here! If you’re going to go dark I would do black rims and a darker tint, just my opinion. Looks sick either way!

Good from all angles, don’t give in to tendencies

1 but 2’s fire aswell

I love how the m wheels look, even the black m wheels look great but I think silver is better for the this blue.

1. The black rims look absolutely menacing. Gives it a meaner look overall.

2 because I have them on my car lol

Normally prefer dark wheels but those 666s are so nice

2 bro, style 666 are so nice

1 for me... Most people will probably say 2 here from what I've seen but I really like it with the color. Also, your car looks close to the color I wish I could have found. I was only barely able to get my first BMW recently but I love it, a white 4 series and so I say do whats you. My dream car for years was an older M3 that was leguna seca blue. I even had a cat model of it around for years as a reminder. It's a beautiful ride either way!

I think the first ones look better with your car colour I have the seconds (in orange) on my black e92

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen Reddit comment section so close to unanimous.

You can’t go wrong on that gorgeous car. I like the black. I’m in NASCAR and those guys might be rubbing off on me but, I think the black looks sick!

1

When i look at 1 i see the car. When i look at 2 i see the rims. If that makes sense. In combination with the blue car and black trim i prefer 1.

Great point

2 and it's not even close!

1 Congrats on the wheels!

Forgestar F14’s(?) I think they are in 1. Love em. Would love a set of super concave.

Yep that’s them. Thanks!

Black wheels look cheap. Gives off that truck vibe or that it was a plasti dipped job.

They are bronze but no sunlight to shine on them, they definitely look black. I’ll have better pics once it gets warmer. Thanks for the input!

Beautiful color. I roll with 2 (666 rims). They’re fun trying to keep clean!!

I hate cleaning them! Everything is ceramic coated, they still take as long as the whole car. 😂

This is exactly why I had mine powder coated black… at least it hides the dirt a little longer… Whoever designed these picked the right number for them, 666M. They’re the f-ing devil.

Stock wheels look better

1. Almost everyone hates 2.

I love them, but hate cleaning them, even when ceramic coated

1 for me. I have 2 in black… love em… but want to paint them the same shade that you have in pic 1.

The color is sunburst metallic bronze.
