I'm no help... I like em both although your current wheels seem to be whats popular these days for non lip wheels (all black)
I like the red stripe but not sure if I'd do it.
The Schmidts look more luxury to me (not race). Any wheel that doesn't show the lug bolts is luxury to me.

I don't know how is it in the big world with the time attack theme right now, but I have seen time attacks only in 1 car here! And that was my friend's ex-ride (not a BMW though) and not in the town anymore. So at least I can say time attacks are not seen everyday over here.

keep in mind, since the new set you are considering does have a lip, it may appear smaller than your current set since you are staying with 19s. just my opinion.

Ok I pulled the trigger and made my decision after all!
Thanks everyone on your votes and opinions, I appreciate it a lot. Your opinions made me think this all again and it helped me to realize that maybe these wheels are not exactly that what I'm after. I want to remain the "racing" look of my car and the Schmidts are more "luxury" style wheels, I think... I'm probably confronting a wheel issue again on next spring, but that's another story! Thank you everyone
.
ps. Those who want more pics, will see them very highly on Saturday after I've been on a local dealer. BMW is having a little tour with their Efficient Dynamics models and people of a local BMW Club Of Finnland are asked to bring their cars to the happening. And I'm taking mine.
