I don't like the blacked out look....

You should just buy some nice alloyish wheels so you can blend in with every other nice looking BMW on the road. Why would you want your car to stand out and be totally different than 99.9% of the cars on the road? Where I live there are soooo many BMW's it's crazy. I've only seen one totally blacked out one around here! Personally I think that guy is an idiot and spends way too much on his car. I heard he's getting his M5 mirrors installed tomorrow too...

I say go for it but make sure you complete the black out look and get rid of all of the chrome bits.

i personally am not a fan of the "black out" esp for the rims because you cant make out the design etc of the blacked out rims esp on a dark color car. but if u like it ...

black and gold but you don't have to take my words for it. Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high
Take a look, it's in a book - Reading Rainbow

You know what, that could look pretty good! I guess there is a Miro type 366 gold rim...
