Sorry, I think they look terrible on s/grey.

I think that the surround at least needs to body colour.

I like it a lot-the silver ones look a tad cheap in my opinion and black looks sharp

Not sure if that is your winter setup but what you need is some rims! I think those bmw rims-the basic 525/53/528 base rim is the ugliest rim bmw has ever used. I always thought that detracted from the car.

Pesronally I like the sport rims that came on the 525 and 530 this past 3 years-would be a cheap upgrade even to those

I wonder what they would look like with these grill inserts?



Here is a link to an eBay auctio for the inserts. Just an idea.
