...need to decide which color within next few days!!...

white car with 5% tints---

option 1) white rims w lip (20s)
or
option 2) black rims with chrome lip (20s)

anyone have a pic of a white bmw w black rims?!

i dont know why but im expecting many objections to both options...(so let me justify/explain my position briefly!) but i like original cars, despise the 12 inch rims my car came with , and i enjoy modifying my cars !!! i dont want my car to look ghetto or anything but if rims are done properly--- i believe it can do alot to the car!!!

advice? opinions?

thanks- Vane

Vane, personally, I like black but I think you can definitely get away with the white in Miami. If I lived in Miami, I would probably go with the white. It's unique. Best of luck.

Get polished rims. Very classy especially w/ white. Black car looks best w/ chrome.

thanx guys!!

i already ordered them friday and should be getting them no later than this thursday but im still unsure about which color to go with....the store doing my rims thinks white is more girly then black... but i kind of have the urge to call and change my preference!! ahhh!! tooooo many decisions!!

personally i wanted my car in black to go with black and chrome lip but white is what i ended up with. either way ill be happy!!

heyyy..

well, unfortunately my father disagreed with purchasing expensive rims :'( due to me being a female and quote,"the thought of you scratching 6,000$ rims is nauseating" haha-- therefore, i went for the more economically priced. ..i guess we'll see how it turns out once put on.. (ill be sure to post a pic for all your critics!! ) However, my dad has HRE's on his car and they look gorgeous... so i consider myself a fan of HRE's. but-- there are soo many options!!!

I dont know why but i tend to like 5 spoke wheels more (just my taste)... but yet really really like those asanti's some guy on this forum owns (beauties!) and i ahve some pics saved of my fav eye-candies!! but im leavin work ... so i must get off... goodluk w your search!!!
