Hey everyone,
I was hoping to get opinions regarding which wheel color would best suit the CBM MS3. I am going to dark out the badges and I already have the windows tinted at 20%.

Black wheels (including dark silver/grey)

White (brake dust sucks but I do wash the car once a week)

Gold/Bronze (different but not horrible)

Silver (what's on there now, ok but not "wow")

Chrome (not an option for me)

Thanks for the input or any other color suggestions.

James

I think gunmetal or black would look good on the CB. I personally love Bronze/Goldish color, but I think they only look good on black cars...and cars painted in that Top Secret gold.

I've been considering a pale-gold colored wheel for my Cosmic Blue. I have yet to find a lightweight wheel that fits my taste but I think it will be a while anyways before I make any purchases.

the question is, are you looking for something to be more conservative (gun metal) or something that's more eye catching (bronze), but since you're about to black out your emblems, then i'd say gun metal, can i vote twice ??? lol GUN METAL OR BRONZE !!!

If I had to do it all over again, I would have picked up the red and put darker features on it. I love how the black badges and tint plus some dark wheels look on this car.

Since I have the blue, I am wanting something that will put a little pizzaz without making it look tacky. I am looking for a slick look but with some classic (if possible) racing undertones.

I have seen some gold/bronze wheels that have a light colored lip. I think that this might not go so well with the dark badges so I am still up in the air about that combo.

The dark wheels I have been considering from the start are the Ultraleggras. I want them to match the dark badges perfectly so I am going to get those first and if I go with the Ultras, I will match them up with the best color (the wheels are offered in a couple different dark colors).

I have to admit, I think these would look good on any colour Speed3...

MS3TR has them on his True Red. They're Akita A4s. So, I'm sticking with Silver.

Is that the correct bolt pattern for this car? If not, anyone know the correct specs?

Thanks for the replies.

These definitely have a sporty look to them. Nice :)
