If you think powedercoating is tunerish and want eye candy, why don't you look into brushed aluminum or machined. Those chrome wheels look like they belong on a Ford or Chevy. A little chrome is okay, but not all chrome. However, it's your car and if you like them and they are quality built, then go for it.

Damn you guys I guess the verdict is in. but dark rims on a dark car looks racing style like a honda or something, im trying to get some wheels maybe with a little chrome to accent the chrome around my windows, So I am now taking suggestions. White535xi your shit is clean as hell so what would you recommend besides keeping them stock. all suggestions are welcome

All of those are ugly as hell bro.

First what is your budget, and do you care if there is a lip? Most of the rims you find off craigslist probably won't fit right anyway, unless its off a 5 series or the proper offset.

Look at this thread for some of the possibilities for a clean ride.

I know what you're getting at. I was in the same boat. Dark rims are racy and light colored rims give it a clean look. When I got mine, I wanted to go for the clean look but wasn't into chrome so I got brushed aluminum with polished lips.

IF, you were to get any of those, I'd get the Davins.
