Take a look at polepositions car. He has 20 inch black, spoke wheels and the car looks awesome! I would do 20's over 19's.

I think black wheels only belong on cars used on the track. They make your car and the wheels look smaller than they are. But again its your money and your ride.

i think charcoal, anthracite, diamond black, and of course platinum grey rims, would all work on a platinum grey car better than black rims though.

I'm not getting black wheels, but thanks for asking. Hahahahaha.
I should've stated that clearer... somehow I can't edit my post. Wonder if it's the proxy server.C's Bimmer
+100 agreed.

Definitely works.
[/black might work on platinum grey.

Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate it. I've been searching for 19's, but i'm going with 20's. It turns out there's alot more choices and prices are a bit lower... i've found. I wouldn't mind a powdercoat that matches my Platinum Gray color, but I think something definitely on the darker side (no chrome). I'd like a BBS type spoke or similar, but haven't had the time to really research. Any suggestions?

MRFA - That silver looks great with the black wheels. I've been looking at all the specialty sites, Hamaan, ACS etc...to check their galleries out, but don't see my gray with the black. I'll probably go with Hyper Black or similar.
