Haha. I always forget how everyone has steelies in Europe during the winter months since most countries require drivers to switch to snow tires.

So far, of the colors we have seen, MG is my favorite on this car. The white looks a bit too flat and the blue, which I saw last weekend again on a X5M, is still just no good. Still waiting to see what it looks like in BSM. Of course it would be nice to see them all in the flesh

One awesome thing about MG is that how it still looks great even if it's filthy. These pictures were taken after driving 7 hours to Sedona Arizona from San Diego and not washed for about a week.

If you looked closely I wiped some of the dust off on the rear fender.

If your lazy and cheap, MG is FTW!

That is the angle that got me too! My wife wants to trade in her X1 and get the M2 so I guess I am a lucky guy

And the 19" wheels look good too. I do not know why there are people who hate the 18" wheels and call them tiny or ugly.

In fact, the whole package comes together in this post. It is an understated but sexy looking car with the 18" winter wheels and the MG paint. I like it very much.

I bet the stock 18" M4 silver wheels would look great too.
18" with some meaty tires and lowered would look epic on this car. I still prefer black wheels on dark cars.

I will even take those wheels over the shitty black ones. Why can't we at least have a choice PUHLEASE. Henry Ford is dead.
Whats wrong with black wheels? I think it complements all the black details and the dark tones of the MG.

This 1M is the inspiration for my M2

MG is not bold. It's a new classic along with silver.
YMB, AY, SO are bold

Hmm looks good in MG and i generally don't care for the color.

Would be a hard choice between LBB and MG.

I agree. I meant going with LBB is bold, not MG.

Friend is ordering, there is some confusion with the dealer who is offering 19" for the winter setup but i think those could be for the 235i and such, have not much clue but i presume for the m2 the wheels from regular 2 coupe will not fit?

I think most blackish wheels look like steelies. They look dirty and take away from the actual design of the wheels.

I actually have to retract the hate I have for the black437s. I am just mad and disappointed that there isn't a silver option like the M3/4. I love the 513s on a MG M3. I think the black 437s look ok on the M3, and look good on the M4. But i think the 513s and silver 437s, in comparison, look absolutely fantastic on the M3.

Is this a deal breaker for the M2...NO, but i just love the contrast in color. And if I had silver wheels and wanted to switch to black...I just don't have to wash my rims and BOOM...new wheels.

I was a black wheel guy a loooooong time ago with my 1991 Beretta GTZ. Anyone remember these cars? Still miss it!
