Thanks for all the compliments everyone. I especially like the one from Howitzer. I liked it so much I immortalized it in my signature. HAHAHA!
Back to the wheels, it does look pretty cool how the centers and red calipers reflect off the chrome lips. Kinda gives them the illusion of being redish-black chrome.
Even with all the praises though, I'd have to say I'm not 100% satisfied. Not sure if it's the finish or the wheels themselves but I don't think I've found my dream wheels yet. I know they're out there and I hope it's true what they say, love will find a way.

I think you should buy a different set of wheels Tony. These things aren't quite right on an M5. They belong on a 550.

i didnt say anything about chrome. I said they are too dark and i liked the brushed look better.
T - I'll sell you your old wheels back for double what I paid. You know you want them back.
