Cool

Hi

I prefer the style of the black rims, think they would look better in a polished alloy finish though.

Have you considered a wheel that has the spokes that go right to the edge of the rim? this will make the wheel look a hell of a lot bigger than it actually is.

Check out the these pics for some cool rims

If you want either of these, go with the black ones...they are the lesser of the two evils.

Not feelin' any of the wheels I'm seeing in this thread, but I'm biased toward stock wheels or perhaps replicas. 87s, 132s, 177s would top my list. Having said that, there are a couple of folks whose aftermarket wheels look just right - Imola4.8 & Wuzin come to mind - now those guys have wheel-taste!

First, see if BMW doesn't offer any normal painted Accessory wheels you like.

In the worst case scenario, go for the black ones. I'm sorry, but BMW isn't the brand to bling-out. That's better left for Jags and MBs, or Lexus.
