Thanks for the replies thus far Wow lots of love for the black rims!

MY only concern with the black ones was a) the cars not particularly sporty being only a 3.0L, black rims would be sort of a 'M5' look. b) the black rims may cheapen the look of the car and make it look less 'classy' and more 'boy racer'.. c) the blacks i was concerned would get lost in the guards, wouldnt be able to tell they were actually concave and for half the price I could get 19s, as I dont think you'd be able to even tell they are 20s when they are black.. hmm.

This 6 series looks ok with the hennessy's:



and this 3 series looks nice with the Magic's:



this one with the silver vertini magic's looks nice also, but i dont think the store has stock could paint over the black I guess:

Damn I love your Porsche!

Vertini's are great, but so are those Stance Evolution wheels. What's the main difference between the two? Just the spoke count?

funny you say that you wouldn't even be able to tell that they're 20's cuz someone asked me if my wheels were 22's and 19's the very same day. LOL. Just don't get the other two with the large dishes. While I'm not against wheels with a dish I just think those look a lil much.

They are all 3 series, lol.

And I totally disagree with your idea of black wheels belong on Ms only or cheapen the look. The two idea is really on opposite spectrum, so I am not sure how you reached that conclusion.

woops, i really wasnt paying attention, for some reason i thought the first was a 6.. you're right .. dont i feel silly lol.

As for the "cheapen" look, i just mean that the M's deserve to look "sporty" since the have the balls to back up the bold statement.. but a daily cruiser i was worried would look like a try-hard boy racer with black wheels, since they would have a hard time outrunning much . Dont get me wrong, they aren't slow, but nowhere near M spec.

Following the resounding votes, i committed to the vertini black concaves should be here in a few days.

Many thanks for the feedback!
