Black or Bicolor w/ Portimao Blue

Hello All. Going to pull the trigger on a '25 M2 and can't decide on the wheels. Def going Portimao Blue with carbon fiber roof and shadow-line light option. Am leaning towards bicolor as it makes the dark color of the car pop a bit. Thoughts?

-Thanks

It's your car. Do whatever you think looks best.

IMO, the bicolor by a long shot

Black. Bi-color is so played out. Every Subaru forester, Outback, Impreza, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan etc has bi-color wheels. So sick of them.

Black.
The bi-color draws attention away from that beautiful blue.

Counterpoint: Black is so played out, you can't even tell what they are most of the time. Five spoke? Ten spoke? 71 spokes? Forged? Playdough? Does it matter? They're black! They could be steelies.

I vote for bicolor. I also went with bicolor on mine.

Bi-color. All gloss black is always terrible.

The best choice. /thread

The BETTER choice would be gunmetal, but that's not a factory option.

That's brave for a frozen color. My winters will be the same because the car will be sitting in the garage. I'll be standing outside the garage with a snow shovel giving side eye to any cloud that gets too close.

Full PPF + I have free car washes for life from my detailer. I was one of their original customers and it was a thank you.

Silver/Chrome really just brings me back to the 80s Cragar or centerline wheels. Black looks good with all the black accents, look ok dirty. Car would look amazing with either. I just prefer black, gunmetal, bronze

Black all the way. This was my Portimao Blue 330e with bi-color that I had powdercoated black.

Perfect example ^^

WAY better in black. Something just super cheap/econobox looking about the bi-color.

This a nice illustration of the bi-color wheels drawing attention away from the awesome blue.
Alternatively, the solid color remains in the blackground (< see what I did there)

I ordered the same configuration and chose the bi-color version. Black seemed too dark for me, I would have chosen a gunmetal color if available however

Bi Colour all the way…. Black loses the details and the wheels are nice (in my opinion).
