Look what I found!

Scroll down half way down the page. Camo colored carbon/fiberglass! Crisis adverted!

Since your original goal was to update the look of your X you might try plastidip on either of the sets you have. If you don't like it just peel it off--no harm no foul.

I was where you were with my 87s. I was very happy with the stock appearance but I wanted something different. I couldn't find wheels I was sure I would like so I went the Plastidip route and got what I wanted and then some.

Cool idea. I like the shades like gun metal on a lot of cars. But I think one of the things like most ab the OE wheels is all the bright silver paint they provide. Against the blue color and running boards combo especially, I like this contrast. On silver, grey, maybe even white, but DEF black, the darker shades of wheels look VERY good.

If that clown with the Alpinas would get realistic about his wheels, I'd be all over them. I saw them on a Z8 last week and my heart skipped a beat.

I saw a silver Z8 at Classic BMW that had them. They look great in person.
