It's all personal preference really. Black wheels on black cars are pretty much a love it or hate it thing. I personally prefer silver wheels on black cars because they have that nice contrast. But if you're looking to make the car more aggressive black would work just fine. Let us know if you need a quote for wheels.

+1 for personal preference, either black out or to have more contrast. and with 19s, they look great and big enough if there is no lip. if the wheels would have a lip, I would personally suggest getting 20s.

Okay points all taken, maybe out of all of this I should just put some different springs on the car and do some window tinting. Okay to all of you experts, which springs should I be purchasing. I also don't want to feel like I am boucing around in my old 81 Sirocco either, so point me in a direction that will be smooth.

Yes I like in Van - my office is in Dundarave.

I think the big issue is the quality of the roads that you run on. As a fellow Vancouverite who is running 20's, if I could have a do-over I probably would have opted for 19's. In fact your 19's look pretty good to me.

You can also get your 167s powder-coated

It was a joke, I felt poleposition needed a boost of confidence! ..what I actually meant to say was that poleposition's 550 looks like one of the worst! I wanted to show lylerichards how bad his E60 would look if he went with the grey Breytons!!!



You guys must have had a good rivalry going on when you had you're black 530!

We sure did and still do. He's really not too thrilled about my new car either. And with my new wheels on the verge of showing up and changing the complete look of the car, he's even more pissed now! Hahaha!
