Hyperion's Candy-Coated 4 x 4
Black wheels are getting played out fast. I was doing black wheels 11 years ago. I did dark matte grey on my C BS and red on my SLS BS, I did order the SLS with black wheels from the factory but only because it was the lesser of two evils on the red car with all the black cf and I knew I would be changing them anyhow.
I was at SEMA in October and the one HUGE trend I noticed everywhere was colored wheels, HRE had more bright colored wheels in their show booth than they had black or silver. I know it is not for everyone but at least it is a fresh look, black wheels are quickly going the way of the mullet I'm affraid. I had a set of track wheels made for the SLS by Klassen I had them do them in black, I might send them back to have them done in Mars Red just like my street wheels.

I have been seeing a few snaps of this M5 on instagram lately and didn't realised its your PertPlus! Haha congrats on a really nice set of HRE's on the M5. Does the Akrapovic exhaust deepens the exhaust note?

The exhaust certainly does but the AMS catted downpipes really do! And thanks for the compliment!

Dude you have no idea! I love the look. And I am now so used to the Superman, Captain America and Spider-man comments it has no effect on me. We all have our own style...I like to buy lots of wheels. Vic likes Thunder from Down Under. Rock enjoys putting Vespas on coilovers. To each his own!
