As we all know, Spring is fast approaching, as is summer wheels for people that live in the cold/snowy regions of the world.
I picked up a set of 128's OEM with X3 offsets for my XI, and I wanted to get some opinions on how to finsh them, or to just leave them stock. Please give me your opinion on what you think would look most original.
I don't have any updated pics of my car at my work comp, but the car is Mystic Blue with Matte grilles, 10% (very dark tint), OEM matte badges on the way etc. If I do select wet black, I will be changing the grill to OEM gloss black.
Thanks for your input.

IMHO on a dark color BMW or any car for that matter, black wheels (especially satin / flat black) looks "industrial" or even military - unless you really to appear stealth ... I personally like the hyper-colors because I feel they add a bit of distinction. So, for your Mystic Blue I have recommended the OEM Silver but suggest you explore the hyper-silver.
