I recently had a bent front rim that needed repaired. While it was being fixed they stuck a 7-series sport wheel on there. I kind of like it in comparison to the standard 5-sereis sport wheel in back. Opinions?

I also say go for it. The style of the rims go hand in hand with the color of your car. Not only that, but it looks like it fills the wheel well a little better than the 124's.

Replace the front only and leave the rear as they are
Just kidding. They looks great, mate. Time to change.
