I like the wheel design, but if i was you, i had choose they in silver. I don't like black wheels.. Black wheels look like steel wheels. :thumbsdown:

Welcome,
It's all individual taste, IMHO they don't compliment the car, but then again, painted rims are not for me.

If you are going to put black rims on a silver 5er, I would also recommend putting the shaddow line on as well. Otherwise IMHO you will have this mean looking set of rims with a non-sport looking body trim colour combo -- could be a bit of a mis-match.

i agree with heelsonwheels and i think the black does not agree with the SG color.

+1. I think black rims are good on black cars only. I've just seen too many black rims on cop cars.
