My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
just my 2 cents, but I too think that the 3pc wheels won't look as awesome powdercoated black completely as the 1pc 128s. With the 128s in black, your car has that "monolith" look - like its all made of one piece of metal. One sinister fuKKing piece of some evil alien metal! 
PS if you p/c the Asantis, it might be like Chapelle's "when keeping it real goes wrong" - too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. I just don't think the Asantis will show well in black. And I definitely like the lip on 'em bad boys

I'll just continue to post whore joking; what I was gonna say is: think about it, if you decide to go with it, chances are, you're not wrong - you know your car best. But those Asantis are gorgeous wheels and they might start losing detail in black.
