I'm not a fan of chrome too! But I vote for chrome this time, it goes with the Black very well!

took the front splitters off tonight. They made my car look to much like a bat mobile and it was just a pain in the ass having to drive so slow and angle up everything.. i now releize that the stock mtech front end is still the best, splitters clutter and ruin the natural lines of an e60.

I like the chrome wheel better, but if it was me, I would buy a silver set.

I used to not like chrome but I realized that chrome multi-spoke or mesh wheels are actually pretty nice on our cars. Of course I like the black ones as well.
