Does anyone have pictures of how dirty (unwashed) black 826M wheels look like with Skyscraper Grey?

Dirty black 826M is a dirty black 826M, no?

. They’re a PITA to clean no matter what.

I ordered the 826M in black because I thought it would hide the brake dust better than the bi-color. And yours doesn’t look that bad dirty 😊

I don’t intend to keep the car spotless all the time since it will be my daily. Car washes once every couple weeks etc.

2 weeks worth of dust — had a day of driving in heavy rain during that period as well

Does anyone regret getting skyscrapper grey? Are there lighting situations where it doesn't look appealing?

IanW555 · 08-02-2023, 03:45 PM

At the Eboladrome

Nope. It’s such a perfect grey color

Definitely not. My F80 was in Tanzanite Blue and while I generally liked the color, I didn't like it as much in certain lighting conditions. That was never the case with Skyscraper Grey.

The only minor "minuses" (okay the second one isn't really relevant):

- I prefer it when the wheels are lighter than the exterior color. Since all standard wheels are darker, I had to powder coat mine.
- It's very hard to capture the color authentically in photos (at least with the phone cam). Especially in direct sunshine, it sometimes looks almost faded in pictures. Generally, I think the color looks better in person.

Even on my 1-series, I'm still in awe of this color everyday I see my car.
