I was thinking of getting 20" iForged Daytona in black to put on my car... I dont see that many if any e60 of the same color with other rims then OEM ones! Any advice or comments would be appreciated.

Don't you mean Silver Grey (from the looks of your avatar)? If so, I haven't seen many black wheels on Silver Grey other than member, poleposition.

Yep, poleposition (who happens to live in my town) has this exact set-up. Personally, I think if you paint the wheels black, you have to keep the lips polished. Don't paint the entire wheel black.

Sorry your right... it is Silver Grey... and thanks for the comments guys! I still contemplating whether I should get them becuase someone is sell 20" daytonas (black w/ polished lip) but if i get them im not sure what to do with the 124's I already have now. I think it will be hard to sell dont you think?

Use them as winter wheels. That's what I would do.

if there in good shape and you don't mind packing 'em up to ship, you shouldn't have a problem selling them in the classifieds. but being in toronto, i'd follow cmans advice and use 'em for winter setups. good luck.

oh, and if you do get the daytonas, remember to post pics.
