I like this color better than the black, but I think I like the lighter silver a bit better. Looks good, though.

I wish BMW would offer the 4.8is in white here in the U.S.

I think they look a 100% better than when they were black. I am biased because my wheels are a gray gunmetal color; lighter than Steel Gray but a nice match with my body color.

I think that once you clean them up and take some good pictures in better light, people will be able to appreciate them. Clean 'em up and show 'em off!

Better but...
I think it looks like they are dirty with brake dust. IMO clean stock silver color is best on Alpine White.

I think you need to bleach them back to stock. Nice clean look, just like the clean white color.

Everyone has their own taste but to me, it looks like those wheels are covered in brake dust. I like the stock color better, but do what you like, it is your sweet ride

Dude, I thought I would NEVER say this, and I doubt I EVER will again, but your ride is a PRIME candidate for some chromies..There-I said it...LOL..

But the white with the dark tints make it perfect for chromes..And I was in Bahrain for a while last year so I KNOW the wheels will be going NUTS in the desert sun....You can send them to get chrome painted for a pretty good price nowadays..But I would leve them as they are for now until you're ready to make the move...

Why do we not have the choice of colours for the 4.8 like they do overseas? Do they expect to sell more of them there or are they just doing it for S&G??? I mean if you're willing to fork over 100k (canada) they can at least give us a better choice of colours
