+4 You have to like them, it's your money but definitely not my taste.

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!

Your cars not too bad, just that the chrome parts deviate from the norm of this forum.

Well, if you like it, thats all it matters!

A small amount of chrome can work!

I like them better than what you had...

A nice choice if you are looking for something no one else has.

First and foremost, it is what you like that is paramount. With that said, these wheels are a little too 'shiny' for my taste and scream for too much attention.

Sorry not my taste either. DOesn't fit the sporty character of a BMW IMO. But as long as you like it that's all that matters. Modding is all about being unique based on your own tastes. Enjoy!
