I'm sorry I'm beating this issue to death but I wanted to see what you guys think about the wheels now looking at these photoshopped pictures of how the wheels would look on the car.

I borrowed the photo from a member but I can't remember who, sorry. I have no photos of my car with a good side profile.

Thanks again guys, Rick....
hope you dont mind a female opinion.. but i was wondering what size the wheels are on the right that you want to put on? there nice.. i think i notice them more then the ones on the left pic.. but they look kinda small and tiny.. almost like that old style tiny wheel low rider look.. which i dont presonally like on bmw's..
i think the wheels on the left make the car look darker.. just brighter on the right---looks better--noticed more like i said..

I'm sorry let me clarify, the top photo has the OZ wheels and the bottom photo has the BBs wheels. It's a close representation but does not do the wheels justice. Here is a link of the wheels for a closer look.

Melimel, you confused me at first but I believe you like the OZ wheels, correct me if i'm wrong, and no I don't mind a women's opinion at all. Welcome to the forum.

Not that it matters because I already bought the wheels but check this out, it's still 50/50 on the choice..
