I had a set of 20x9 and 20x10 Maya STM wheels on my '06 530i and had problems with the anodizing on the lip. The dealer/distributor took them back and offered me a new set. I went with the black and chrome Maya DTV's but have to wait a month as they are new and will be coming from Japan. I've seen a set of Maya LTD (the limited edition) wheels on my car and they LOOKED COOL AS HELL. The problem is I can't get a set because they only made 100 world wide and they are sold out.

I just wanted to see what other people thought about the "silver and black" concept? I also bought a shadow black front grille from Bimmian the other day and it matches the trim perfectly. If nothing else it will be "different"...

Some like the silver/black concept very much and some don't like it as much as silver/silver. These threads contain some contrasting examples:

Silver/Black--with black grill (more pics in the reader pics section I think)

Silver/Silver--I prefer the silver/silver; it wasn't clear to me if you wanted to consider this combination or not. There's alway the silver/chrome option. And, there's the silver/black diamond (BBS) option.

For starters, welcome aboard! You will find everyone has a different opinions about the color combinations, the only thing that matters is how well you like them. I personally would say that I am not a big fan of black wheels, however, when you see them on polepositions car, they look great.

Check this out...
