Matte Black centers with Gloss Black lips.
It's the new wheel craze.

Looking good Tony

I love the wheels! Much better than brushed (my opinion)

Thanks Tom. But trust me, they look exactly like that in person. Wished they did look a bit lighter. haha
BTW, I'm talking to Joe (VT) on IM right now and we want you to meet us at RPI next Fri morning and caravan with us to MFest.

Awesome. I think it'll be me, Joe, Eloy, Eddie, Sohrab, you and possibly Kenny.

Tony, the wheels look fantastic. I understand your thought process on not being 100% comfortable with the color. It's tough to choose these colors from the little samples they show you. While a lighter shade may have gotten closer to the look you envisioned, this color looks great nonetheless. It may just grow on you. Im sure it looks awesome in motion as well.

All the best

I don't have the paint code but it's supposed to be the Platinum Gray color offered on the current E60 (can you see this: http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/BYO...1V3F/Bh6M0s0kI)

The actual finish looks darker though so I'm wondering if they used the wrong paint. Oh well....



To everyone else, thank you for all your comments.

I still like the R10's better. But I like the new finish.
