Show me your Dirty 210's

OK, I know, weird title. My wife's car just went into production and I just couldn't force myself to pony up for the Sport Activity Package and the better looking (imho) Style 212 wheels. So now I'm trying to make myself feel better...whenever I see an E70 with dirty 210's, I think "That's not so bad." For some reason I think the 210's just look better dirty than they do clean. Anybody with me here? Its as if they gain a little visual heft and texture. So please feel free to post pics of your dirty wheels.

As an aside, if anyone out there is thinking about ditching their 212's, please PM me.

Barely dirty, but I should have more pictures by the weekend. This was 1 week after delivery. Now it is over a month after delivery and we still haven't washed it! At first, I thought Style 210's were going to be too small on this vehicle, and that the Style 212's were also a million times better even though it is 1" larger. Upon delivery, I changed my mind and now think these are also fine for this vehicle.

I got the 212s and I don't really find them better looking. I'd stick with the 210's and keep'em real dirty With the brake dust problem you won't have an issue at all!

I prefer them clean, but maybe that's just because I know it's brake dust. But one plus to the 210's is that they are the easiest wheel to clean I've ever washed.

Excuse the weird parking in this picture. Dad moved the X5 to move some stuff in the garage around.


Sorry for some pictures looking overexposed. I am still trying to figure out how to work this new camera!
