    Got this yesterday, but have never personally been a fan of the black alloys and are doing my nut in already

    any ideas what could be done ....or what kind would suit better?




    Thanks

    You could see if you can find some replacement alloys of the same size but different style/colour and reuse your tyres. That way you could recoup the cost by selling your current alloys.

    Failing that you could powder coat the current ones in a colour of your choice

    Unfortunately there are not a lot of wheel options for the F56 and as such you end up with wheels that most other people will have or thinking about getting with can be annoying,IMHO I like the black but it’s your car and hopefully you will find a set of wheels that do what you want ,the wheels suit black because they tie in with the other black on the car and are you going to Dechrome it ?

    I also am not a fan of black wheels that I have on my F56, I did consider the 506 cross spoke but they are not cheap, i have to agree they do tie in with the roof and mirror caps, do a dechrome and a black bonnet scoop wrap and it will all come together

    My coupe came with black alloys and there was no way I was having black alloys over the winter. So I had a set of rotas powder coated satin grey. They do still show diets but not nearly as bad as black. I dont like how small black alloys look

    I really like the black wheels, silver wheels look a touch boring IMHO
