One more vote for black.? How much more would it be to sell the rims and buy something else, vs. painting them?? My advice would be to get something you really like, especially if you're only talking a few hundred dollar difference.

Looks great black, better then chrome.

But these aren't BMW wheels...

I would realy love them though on my Classic Mercedes.

I'm with 555 and Tomwid, they just don't match the character of the car. No matter what finish.

Hamman, As you already know i'm pretty blunt about things, and i've never really liked those wheels. 1 cuz they're not staggered and 2 too much chrome/bling factor. BUT if you were to choose one or the other i would paint them black just because you won't see that much of the wheel, and just the lip. i hate match-painting black wheels, or any color rather except white or silver, but in this case I think it will benefit the look of your car. good luck...
