Tim,
Update your profile so we can provide better advice. What color and packages does your 525 have?

I normally don't like chrome but it actually looks pretty good on a white car. I also think the only other color that looks good with black wheels (besides a black car) is white.

I wasn't much help was I? hehe

Any ideas what kind of wheels you're getting?

If they look like mine then get it J/K.. I think Black with Polished lip on white looks more sporty and chrome well look better IMHO. I think you can't go wrong with either one
