My Ride: 07' 550i, Jet Black, Sport Pack, Comfort seats, Logic 7, PDC, Nav/Sat - stock for now
So I have a dilema and I need some feed back. I just got back from LA and saw a few cars that had wheels that were completely black. I think they look more aggressive than the Miro 167's that I have. Don't get me wrong, the 167's look great, but having a completely blackend out wheel would be off the hook. Second question, I went from an 18" to a 19 " wheel with the 167, now my buddies are saying that I made a mistake and should have gone 20" . What is your thought on that ?

i had 20`s.. but went to 19`s... the ride is better.. no more bummps... and its alot cheper to replace say a tire or a rim if damaged.... i would stay with the 19`s.. just drop the car like its hot.. pluse the rotation is less so your faster....

Not a fan of blacked out.. I love the way you're car looks with the Miro's.. but if I had to choose a dark wheel I'd go with gun metal.. or even the grey Breyton Race GTS's like in the pic! Just my opinion 
Check out member poleposition.. his 550 is one of the best!
