I've recently got hold of some 18" alpina's with a deeper dish , they need a refurb but what I've been thinking is to go a bit different on the finish, this is what I'm thinking:
Comments or any other suggestions please
Opinions on different finishes on alpina's

I like, but I don't know if they'll suit the colour of your car - on a silver or black car, yes, but on a blue one I'm not sure.

Glad to see you got the wheels Wayne

Sorry Wayne, cant give you any encouragment on this one. Imho you want to leave that naff look to the Evo boys...+ Seb is right, not with a Blue car. But at the end of the day, tis your motor!

Here's an example of when it does work:

There was a time when I thought about another colour for the throwing stars on mine(black 850ci). Has anyone tried that?

Correct me if I'm wrong but is that finnish known as gun black
I like that finnish, how it will work on a blue car is a bit uncertain.
They might "get lost" on the car if you know what I mean.My friend has dark grey wheels on a green e46, and that looks good.
I'd try photoshoping a set of wheels with that finnish on a picture.

I think its gun metal rather than gun black but I'm still thinking they will look good , I would have a go at photoshop but I'm usless with things like that and I don't have a suitable program, maybe someone could give it a go for me.

That's the other thing, I had 18" gunmetal alloys on my previous car, which was silver, and they looked great but they did look a bit small because of the dark colour.

I guess you could paint one with an aerosol (£6) and see what you thought before getting them refinished by the pro's.

Just to throw a spanner in the works Wayne (Happy New Year)
How about Gun metal centre's with either silver or polished lip....

Wayne dont forget to load up the pic's of your colour trial.

will do.
I'm gonna get any old alloy from a scrap yard and spray that one instead of spraying one the alpina's
