I'm in the process of looking for some winter wheels for the snowy season and have narrowed it down to a couple of choices. All of them are 18x8 size.
The first are black M4 replicas, and I'm not sure how I feel about everything being black, as my car is black as well.
2nd is a set of replica wheels from an M4 as well. Partly black, but the face is machined, so it sets if off a bit more.
3rd are silver 5 spoke
4th and 5th are the same wheel, but one is anthracite. It isn't as dark as black, kind of a dark grey, but I'm still concerned they may blend in too much with the rest of the car (I don't have pics of them on a TL.)
Thanks for any input you can give me.
I've found out most of the ones I've posted I won't be able to use, as they have machined faces and they won't hold up to snow and salt. The rims I'm looking at are mostly 18x8 and +35 offset. Since my summer oem wheels are +55 offset, I see that they will stick out 2cm more from the hub. I've seen lots of people on here with +35 offset but most were 19-20 inch wheels. Would an 18 look silly sticking out that far? From my visual measurements, +35 should put the wheel/tire pretty well flush with the fender lip.
