So I have had this thought of throwing some Black rims onto my baby and wanted to get all of yall's opinion, yes I'm from Texas! LOL

I was looking on ModBargins.com at several and there are two that I really like, but if you guys have other thought or suggestions I'm wide open!! Also if you guys think the MHT Vortex wheels I currently have on my Bimmer look great and I'm barking up the wrong tree I can forgo the wheel option and mod my exhaust or some other endless option!!

or

Thanks guys for all the support and feedback!!

1st one...not a big fan of the M5 rep. No concavity. Rather go with CSL style more though than either option.

Your car looks great, im a new 528 x drive owner and was wondering about wheels sizes and fitments...staggered vs non staggered. Would you have any information or tips for me?...What year and model is your car?....thanks

Ok....Here is my suggestion unless you have tons of money or you entering trade shows when it comes to wheel shopping buy the best quality for the reasonable price. I buy all my wheels for my daily driver(s) from Jlevi. I love the way the VMR set up sits under the car. Here are a few examples and oh by the way you will not have a hole in your pocket after you buy VMR.

I do not work for Jlevi I just love those guys....
