I gave roughly 20-25 minutes into trying search for a result but found nothing.

I am curious and have never seen yet what the 545i sport package wheels would look in a straight black.
I've seen M5 and M6 wheels before, and various aftermarket designs as wheel, but never the 18 inch 545i rims.

The following pic is attached for reference in regard to which model I am talking about specifically.
Thank you in advance.

Spin, I've got the 124's on my 2005 545i right now, but I'll be getting rid of them here in the next few days. Do you already have a set of wheels and tires? Let me know what you think.

I do not like black rims. They look like the wheels they put on a test mule or the black steel wheels people put hubcaps on.

Are you looking to sell them with your question to me ?

The car already has 124s on it, but I wouldn't mind having an "extra" set to play with regarding changing their color.

If you're considering selling them, could you PM me a rough price ? I have absolutely no clue as to how much oem BMW wheels these days market for among forum enthusiasts.

I know what you mean, I dont get why some one would buy a 525I, might as well have gotten a 325I. To each his own.
