Show me your Skyscraper Grey Wheels...
I hate the OEM Wheels but can't decide on a color. I keep thinking of champagne or staying with black. I would love to see some different color aftermarket wheels to help the decision. Pic of my car is attached. TIA

Why do you hate the OEM wheels? Because of the black color (which I would totally understand) or do you dislike the design in general?

How can anyone hate the OEM wheels lol.
Here's a couple of the whole car and a close-up post-wash Also, officially they're referred to as "bi-color" not skyscraper grey. |

Trying a Few options on mine. Have a black set of apex, a set of apex I did in chrome powder for a prior car then sold that and got my m3 prior to mounting them. Also tested a set of custom s58 performance in brushed gold. I think they are too bright tho. I’m wrapped in satin ppf now too

Maybe it just identifies as Skyscraper.

My G83 came with 826M bi-color wheels and I opted for the 826M black wheels for my winter set. Personally, I clearly prefer the 826M bi-color (silver/grey with black trim) over the all black 826Ms.
I feel the bi-color (when clean) highlight both the silver/grey aspects of the car, as well as the black trim. Bi-color also goes very well with carbon fiber tones. It's all subjective I guess. Check out the below Skyscaper Grey thread for more ideas. cheers! https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1817671

While I absolutely agree with you here, the bi-colors are still too dark for my taste (especially since there already is a dark option for the 826Ms). Even the silver part isn't really silver, it's rather a light grey. But overall, they are nice looking wheels, especially if the lightning is right.

For instance, I thought the 825M "star" wheels I spec'd on my prior '22 G82 would contrast great against Tanzanite to brighten it up a bit. Unfortunately it wasn't long before I quickly fell out of love with them as I personally thought they looked too M440-ish and "soft" in person (IMO). They're still sharp wheels as many spec'd them. The eye of the beholder I guess
