I think the OEM wheel color would suit better the color of your car.
But if you like it -->
edit: Are those wheels 20"?

My Ride: SOLD...Jet Black 2008 550i M Sport with SAT, black interior. RPI exhaust and air scoop, 35% huper optik tint all around, CF roundels, flat black kidneys, Springfield Armory XD-40 jet black in glove box, charcoal filter removed.
Are they just painted? If so, how are they holding up? I was thinking of having mine powder coated rather than painted...but...if the paint holds up, or there is some uber strong paint for rims out there that I am unaware of, I'd go that route.
I assume your's weren't powder coated as the tires are still on and couldn't be when baked.
