I've been thinking of going with black rims and black grille inserts for my car. But there are several other rims I like as well. Like the Miro M6's. I'm trying to figure out if I should go with an all black look, or have some sorta balance with silver/gunmetal rims, and keep the original grilles. What are your guy's thoughts?

Black on black looks great (especially for the 5 minutes after a wash that it is still clean!)

I was thinking the same thing! I don't know if I want to do a black/gray theme or just keep it how it is and do some silver or gunmetal rims?

If you're going to go all black, dont get the Miro M6 wheels because it's been done too many times. But other than that.. I love Black Out obviously.

I do love those rims. Those rims with an Mtech kit look so good, like BMW intended it to be that way imo.

I'm trying to like those, but for some reason I just don't yet.
