Do you have the picture of the wheel in the actual color?? I want to see if that would match your AW.

Eh, Brian, if possible, stick with BMW OEM m5 or m6 wheels. But again, those are my taste....

Brushed Ashanti/DPE, Rads or forged 360. safest choice would be M5 wheels like 166.

:thumbsdown: on 360 Forged. A lot of drama going on with them right now. Not sure it would be safe decision to buy from them.
Aside from Asanti, DPE, and Rads; you should also take a look at some iForged wheels. Just my opinion.

i am looking for VMR wheels for aw color 535XI
my personal opinion, white color car with black center and polish lip is the best
