BBS-CH-R (Titanium or Silver?)

335i-SG · 06-01-2013, 11:35 PM

Considering to purchase BBS CH-R in Titanium.

Which BBS CH-R finish would look better with my Glacier Silver M Sport. (Titanium or Silver)?

Note: I may also add the M Performance splitters, sides and diffuser later.

BBS CH-R
Fronts 19X8.5 - ET32
Rears 19X9.5 - ET35

See my car below and examples.

IMHO the darker grey can never work with a silver car, the contrast is too small (black always works) but at the same time the colora are too different to match. Silver on silver, or black on silver. Nothing in between.

Agree. I have the CH-R's in silver on a tanzanite car and they look good.
Dont think the titanium colour would look as good on a silver car.

Eye of the beholder tho. Go for some contrast and add a red BBK

I think the contrast between the car's silver finish and the titanium would look great (as w the M3 in the pic). The silver wheels (unless you have them painted to match) will undoubtedly not exactly match your silver paint and imo not look as good. A bonus is that the titanium match the constant brake dust from the MSport pads..don't have to clean them twice a day.

I agree, darker vs silver so you have contrast. The silver on silver will look too OE/Stock. That M3 looks great as well as that F30 where they contrast, even if just a little.

I like the titanium, especially with the red center caps. Maybe I'm a little biased though.

canbmw · 06-02-2013, 11:33 PM

Titanium for sure.

JN1 · 06-02-2013, 11:57 PM

I agree with the darker as well. On a side note, what suspension are you running H&R sport?

Was on H&R Sports, now on M Performance. Pic below was taken with the H&R's.

Titanium for sure.

Dont shoot me, but I think the best looking set of wheels is in the first picture.

I thought that may be the case. I think it's the best looker of the bunch honestly.

Titanium would be good due the color contrast. I do think both colors will be much better with a black center cap.
