Does anyone think these wheels are too much, or will they look hot on my BMW 325i dropped ?

Any suggestions?

liking the second one. personally i am not a fan of black center coz i think it loses the detail of center design.
if u want to go with black center, go with the simplest design, which is #1. that way you are not losing so much of the detail.
just my 2 cents.

what brand is that btw? those looks nice.

I wasn't a big fan of black wheels either but they really grew on me the first I think would look super aggressive because they have a very deep lip and the contrast with the chrome lip is killer the second is also hot because I think multispoke looks hot on a 5 . I can get these brushed or with center black. these are modulare wheels 3 pc forged. not cheap!

The word "like" 166 style is a bit too strong but there are some design elements, if you like it I have no reason to say no, however but only IMO these wheels suit a SUV better, just by the style.

Sleek E60 needs some nice thin spokes with nice line, if the 5 spoke would be 1/3 thinner I would say go for it. From the two def. the 2nd, but it is not that close to 166 M5 rim. BTW what brand is that?
