Swapped my roundels for BBS red center caps...
Job is future is a bit shaky, I don't dare buy new wheels, so I changed the center caps for a different look.

Yup, bought them for my 06 M3 that I traded because of back problems, I use spacers front and back to make the offsets work. The light weight forged LM's with non run flat tires save a lot of unsprung weight vs. the stock wheels and OEM run flats.

Have you thought of trying to go with a black theme to compliment the shadowline and color of your car? Then, you can get matte black grills, smoked LED sidemarkers, and black roudels/center caps That would keep you busy and really compliment your overall color combo. Just my 2 cents!

sorry but not quite feeling it. kinda reminds me of the "red eye" on people in some photos. most cameras now have software to remove red eye. but hey, if you like it then thats all that matters. 
good luck with the job though.
