I have narrowed my choice down to two wheels for my new 550i and wanted to get some feedback from you guys. Please take a look at the two images below and let me know what you think.

i really like the Radenergies but those Asantis look really good.Probably not as agressive but i like them.The deep dish is huge. Definitely not in chrome though

My vote for Asantis.

I am not a big fan on chrome wheels. I know this is a US thing!
I dont see many in UK and HK chrome wheel on cars, we can get them just it not a trend over here.
These 2 design will look good on the BM. I like the 1st 1 morebut not in chrome

I voted R10s. I know they're getting common but I still think they're one of the best looking wheels for our car. Those Asantis would probably look better on a 7 series. Just my .02.

R10's for sure... It's brand & style recognition one glance and you know that they are quality wheels.
