Thanks BigMike,
I know what you mean. I like being able to change the look of the car by changing it's shoes. I REALLY like the ACS type V wheels, but they are just soooooo damn expensive. The 121s (with tires) only set me back a couple hundred bucks - I couldn't pass that deal up.

So far, I see the 121s are not a fan favorite. :thumbsdown: 
I wasn't sure if I'd like 'em either, but they are growing on me. I have the other wheels for the winter. Over the winter, I may have these painted/powder coated.
What do you guys think, black, matching blue with the car, leave them silver?
LOL! Thanks C for the avitar prop!

I've never seen it, others may have, but those 121s might look badazz in powder coated black or anthracite.

I kind of like the others you had as they go more with the darker theme of the car. That said, it's hard to pass up a sweet deal like a couple hundred $$ for a complete set of 121 wheels and tires. I mean, if you end up not liking them, you could always flip them for a profit I'm sure. One thing that did strike me is how different that Mystic Blue paint looks in the before and after photos. It looks three shades lighter before. That's a gorgeous color that looks great in different lighing!
I've never seen it, others may have, but those 121s might look badazz in powder coated black or anthracite.

Thanks everyone.
Yeah, it was overcast today and I noticed how the pictures make the car look darker. I do love the color, one of my favorite BMW colors and they stopped offering it last year. The closest this year is deep sea blue.
Maybe powder coating this winter...
