I appreciate you haven't canvassed opinion re doing this, but fwiw I would keep them in the original factory colour.

Dare to be different

Not the same wheel style but these were just done in anthracite, or as i regard it, "brake pad dust" colour

(You can gauge the colour by the silver running board)

They're full hi-cote laquer gloss actually. As you see them they're dusted in brake pad residue. The colour is a MB reference 7756 and is apparently the colour used on the McLaren SLR's wheels.

I prefer the original look on that type of wheel tbh but if i wanted a change ferric grey would proberbly be my option

I'd consider shadow chrome as it looks spot on.

There's a pic of an E46 in this thread with Velocity CSL reps in shadow chrome (probably don't really do them
justice)

Have a look at Velocity Motoring's website as they are better pics there of the finish.
