My Ride: It's an E60 545I 6 speed.
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
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?

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