BBS CHR's in Matte Titanium or Matte Black?

JLee83 · 12-10-2012, 11:08 AM

I plan on getting some 19" BBS CHR's through Baan Velgen pretty soon but I'm having trouble deciding which color/finish goes best with my car.
I drive a 2008 barbera red 335xi coupe.
I've already blacked out the grilles and the window trim, I have the mtech front and rear bumpers, and the M3 sides are coming...so the wheels are next.
I need to make a decision. Matte Black or Matte Titanium?

(I'm leaning a little bit towards the matte black and getting the rim protectors painted barbera red to match...?)
Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.

Are both of those wheels black?

JLee83 · 12-10-2012, 11:26 AM

No...the matte titanium wheels seem to change color depending on the light.
They kind of resemble gunmetal or possibly a hyper black finish.
The wheels that are still in the box, (in the above posting) are matte black.

I vote for titanium

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 12-10-2012, 12:28 PM

Titanium, not so much cause the color is that much better, it just sounds cooler then matte black haha

Moutamid · 12-10-2012, 12:39 PM

matte black it will go with car color IMO

SoCal BimMn' · 12-10-2012, 12:49 PM

Titanium better contrast than black

cbad335 · 12-10-2012, 01:30 PM

One more vote for Ti.

rbtamms · 12-10-2012, 01:41 PM

The Titanium will blend well with the color of your car...

The titanium looks better, but I will vote black to go with Barbera Red!

mashimarho · 12-10-2012, 06:41 PM

They have one called anthracite. I'd get that.

mashimarho · 12-10-2012, 06:43 PM
