My Ride: BMW 525d SE
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi all
I decided to finally commit to 19" rim and purchased these new Hanes alloys with tyres yesterday. I wanted something totally different and went for non-OEM BMW wheels.
After much research, I liked this design as I think it suits my 525d SE model in Black quite well. But I appreciate it may not be to everyones taste.
What do you all honestly think? The car gets noticed when I drive around town...but is it for the right reasons? I wanted wheels that were less bling so as to not attract too much attention.
I suppose what really matters is that I am very happy with them. Opinions please....good, bad or otherwise!
BEFORE on 18"s

Well, if you really like it, then that's all that matter. If you asked me, I'd say it's not my style, honestly. ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
