Oh Rudy, fellow Pittsburgh guy. I was born and raised in Stanton Heights. Let me try to post current pics and then try to photoshop the Black GTS wheel in. Note: I have NO clue how to use photoshop - lol.
No hurry...glad to see another Pittsburgher out there -- even if you're not here anymore.

As far as photoshopping wheels onto a car, I may be able to help -- take a look at my earlier attempt at doing something similar:

Long story short, I have a camera w/ audio that watches over my car in front of my townhouse. I'm not really in a bad area at all, but since my bedroom is in the back of the house, I like to watch out front sometimes while expecting company, etc. Well, I just turned on the feed to the camera and had to smile. The sunlight was hitting her at the perfect angle. I must say I wasn't a fan of the E60 bodystyle at first, but it sure has grown on me. Silver-Grey sport - loving it. Since everything is black trimmed I'm going to go with these wheels Breyton Race GTS - All Black. What do you think?


nice i was going to get the same ones maybe 4-5 months ago...299 a piece right

Yeah, they're roughly $299 for the 19" which I plan to get.

LOL, yeah Rudy, I saw you artwork in the other post earlier. Reminds me of a set of teddybear chrome wheels I saw a few years ago - which I would never get - lmao.

DO IT!!!
and post pics!
I have a silver grey, and am thinking of going black wheels but dont know how it will turn out...

What he said! I was thinking about these real hard, but went with a set of 124's for my titanium silver. I think it would look hot! Please post pics if you do it.

OP, agreed, the e60 body style is really growing on me. I used ot love my e46, but now they look 'old' when I see one compared to my e60!

Get them! Breyton Race GTS wheels rock. They look stunning in person.

If I were going to stray from OEM summer wheels and didnot want to spend the Big bucks on the R10s, Breyton Race GTS wheels would be my first choice.
