Great car but terrible wheels IMO. If you like them, great; but I think it makes it look like a police car...sorry. My AW 535xi with MSport package looks similar but I have the 135M OEM alloys which I think look much better with the car.
Just my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking about sending the wheels out and having the lip painted white but not sure yet. don't know if I want to leave the black center with a white lip or white center with a black lip. But keep your eyes open dinan brembo kit comming soon.
