Here you go! First set is with red wheels, then mag blue.

What about Volks graphite pressed style.. But instead of graphite, the face will be in a brushed silver with tinted clear and the lip will be in either a silver or polished lip?

You really can't go wrong. That sounds great! It won't be too "offensive" like a blue or wild color.

(But I still think mag blue would look great )

+1 MAG BLUE!!

To be specific, mag blue with a custom Avery grey volk sticker (instead of red like the pic)

Ok sorry for all the posts. Found a white sticker (close to the wrap color)

And then how an E93 looks on TE37's with sticker

Thanks for the pics Blindside_137 !

Latest Blackstone report.. Pretty happy with the results.

On another note.. The wheels should be here by Monday. I need to think of a color soon.

Looks like that didn't upload... Here's another try.

Look what we have here ?

Hm...

Wow !

OP you're a righteous dude for doing all this work yourself , way more talented than I could ever hope to be.

And you're a true BMW enthusiast doing so much work on your own too.....the car when first purchased had like 121K on the odo ? That's weird cause the car looks brand new and the wrap is insanely well done for home mechanic...

Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words.

Still having trouble deciding on color!

So is it between your pressed graphite and mag blue?

Start a new thread and make a poll. And see if anyone could photoshop the colors for you that you are considering.

But I still think mag blue would be great

Red on white is always a winner.
Something along the lines of mag blue but in red a shade lighter.

Mag blue for sure.. that SSII e92 w/ the mag blue posted above is $$$

You guys don't think Mag Blue is played out??

Do you see them all the time where you are? I never have. In fact those few cars I posted I think are the only 3 or 4 I have ever seen on the forum to do it.

TE37's themselves are way more popular, but in bronze or graphite. Played out or not, mag blue it would look fantastic with the grey wrap. As long as it's refinished in the proper shade. A hyper blue or royal blue would be a lot harder to pull off. It needs to be dark blue. It will almost look black/gunmetal in dark lighting but shine blue nicely when sun hits it. I certainly don't want to pressure you into something you don't necessarily want. I just know it would look great! But it's your money and ultimately your decision and you really can't go wrong with whatever you decide

Good point. I don't see it all the time but I do see it a lot online.

I used to love Mag Blue when I had Varrstoens on my TL a few years back. I was going to get them done in that color. Hm...
