Looks good. Congrats.

All your wheel choices are great, any would look sick. GL with your decision.

if you do go with black wheels or powder coated wheels, don't forget to change out the BMW emblems/badges as well....

Got it off member "e46toe60" up in tampa, got it painted at my local body shop which i have worked with before. I costume painted the kidneys with statin black spary for the inner part and low gloss black "matte black" outer. I installed the whole kit myself with a friend which helped me mount it.
