Here's a mix of old and new pics (some dont show the new trim).














And a sneak peak of me with the new car:

PS: to do the gloss black trim, I bought OEM shadowline trim and had it prepped and resprayed in piano finish gloss black.

Well I lent my 530i to my friend, who decided to run my immaculate rims into a gutter

The rims were the only thing I had planned on putting on my new M5... Sigh.. Anyways, now since the person that scratched them is the one planning on buying the car once my M5 arrives, I just informed him he has now bought the rims.

As such, I need replacements.. I can get the same ones with tyres for approx $3100... Anyone got suggestions for other alternative rims?

The M5 is silver, whats thoughts on these:



Or should I stick with my black concave and buy the same ones again?
