Has anyone done blue wheels on their 3?

I know it's kind of a long shot but I am 90 percent sure I am going to give blue a shot on my 17" wheels. I already have them sanded and primed in white so I just need to choose a color. They're not stockers either, they are a 17x7 +38 5 spoke wheel. They're pretty sporty looking. Gonna run 205/45/17 tires on them to drop the car a bit more too.

Here's a quick chop with blue te37's on my car just to get an idea of the look.

I kind of like it... It's hard to find colors to go with copper red and I want to be original. I like the bronze I have now and the only other color I like is gunmetal. I guess if I don't like blue I could paint them gunmetal instead.

i think that blue looks sick! I also love the look of those wheels what brand are those...i was looking at some bronze rota wheels that look like that for my 3.

Those are volk te37's in magnesium blue. Unfortunately I won't be putting those on my car but I am painting mine a similar color.

Got one painted. The rest will have to wait for another day.

That looks awesome..are those rota wheels?

Nope. They are ssw s013 trex 17x7 +38 offset. I picked them up from a guy on here for super cheap actually. They needed straightening and refinishing.

They are foreign and impossible to find. I looked for replacements for the bent ones but had to get them fixed instead.
