Having a car with low profile tires and it being stock non-sport height makes it look out of place. The car really needs coilovers. I'd suggest that first and possibly painting your calipers and rotor hubs black to clean it up a lot behind the rim. Wheels look good but are very sporty and require "the whole thing" to be sporty for them to fit well.

These wheels don't suck. They're HRE reps. Here's the real thing on a brilliant white individual M5 with Dinan drop. These coiled look amazing with a few mods.

So now im confused on what to do... its probbaly late to switch it for something else what do you guys think??
I should have stuck to something simple like the m6 wheel
i actually like those rims, and you should be glad you didn't do what every other person does and get m6 wheels (i don't know why people like them in the first place, but its their car).
