I like the Work Gnosis wheel also. Definitely do it with graphite centers on the A/W car, not black centers.

I agree. Never been one for black centers no matter what. They wanted me to do that with my Turbo and it felt like it was played out before it was ever popular to me. I like it on people's cars not my own. No offense to those with Black Centers It's just not my style.

Here are the Work Brombachers in silver on the Turbo. I really like mesh but I want to mix it up some I think this time. I have ran mesh style for a long time on everything so the Gnosis caught my eye for something different. I am a Work Wheels fan.

welcome if your interested i have my wheels for sale, there 19" vs-xxwork wheels with black lip and gunmetal face i have a picture of them in my sig

Both wheels look great, I don't think you could go wrong with either!

Yeah I first put black wheels on my black MDX back in 2004 before it got so popular. On my black 545, I ordered black Radenergie R10 wheels but they arrived in a graphite finish. I was a bit disappointed at first and the place I ordered them from told me the wheels only came in one shade of black even though I compared it to my friend's car with the same wheels and his was definitely black and mine was graphite. Till this day I still think they may have sent me a repainted wheel. But the graphite grew on me and I loved them afterwards. Here are a couple of pics of them on my M5. I think they would look a lot better against an AW car though.

And man, your Porsche is gorgeous.

Thank you.

Your car and a few others on here are setup just like how I would do it. The NEEZ QD7's wheels are one of the best looking rims! Very nice. I like the R10's on your car as well. Got tired of them huh? For the most part I have only seen R10's in silver or black(not graphite). If it were a repaint it looks like they did a good job.

I think on A/W or White the graphite will show the best. I like some contrast. It's cool this forum has so many cool modders. I found the OEM M-Tech kit for $1100 but the M5 aero is growing on me more and more.

I might hit you up with a few Q's as soon as I pick up my 5 series if you don't mind. I am liking the 535's more and more even with the HPFP issues that I have read about. I see that you went with M5 fenders, etc. Since that is most likely my path I hope you don't mind some questions

Thanks.

To clarify, that's a real M5. I had a 545 but sold it and got the M5 about 2.5 years ago. So it came with the M5 fenders.

But yes, let me know if you have any questions and I'll try my best to help. There are plenty of knowledgeable people on here as well.
