there's no choice for semi-gloss black. No body color match. I dont like it.

Inspired by JOHN's 166. I took it up a knotch a lil by painting it matte black and did a machined brushed aluminum effect. Can't really tell the brushed effect on this pic but it looks awesome in person. I can't wait to put them on. I think this custom made 166 will suit your black car. Cheers!

black, but not gloss black to match the body. Matte black (a.k.a. brake dust grey )

+1 for brushed aluminum....This is my favorite wheel for the e60 and if I didn't have x drive, I would have these and would powdercoat them. I am pretty sure that is what member DERANGED did to his. However, you just can't go wrong IMO with this wheel, so do what you want with them.

My vote is either gunmetal (shown) or matte black. Wanted Matte, but after putting the Gunmetal on, I'm glad I did. Would have been too much black IMO
