I voted for keeping the M5 wheels, mainly because I like the OEM wheels. Unlike other car companies BMW doesn't do that badly with their wheels.

i voted to keep the wheels you have now.. have them refinished and add the carbon fiber i think it will look more sporty and aggressive with the m5 wheels.. powdercoat them nicely and it will look sick.. i think eugenes wheels are nice.. but kind of a different look if you ask me..

White rims on a black car? I dunno... I'm not feeling those rims at all.

I voted to refinish m5 166 wheels and add cf hood and splitter.
