I am so close to deciding on this and I only have until tomorrow to tell my painter and drop off my car. I know this is just a photoshop, but what is your guys HONEST opinions. You don't have to drive it, but understand that I would, and how would you feel if you just passed me on the road with this set up. And in person/real life, I feel like it would look SO much better.

I'd say just do the outer part of rims in red then go stealth black with the rest. Definite on the grills.

Check out this thread for opinions on an already red M5....... http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=48115

I think the wheels are too overbearing , maybe they could be done with a black spoke and red rim ? I say go for it ,

Where do you live, that makes all the difference. UK ? _ NO WAY _ , everybody here would point and laugh at you, seriously.

Personally, i think it looks awful with the red on the grill. The wheels, I'm not keen, but could live with it. If it were me, I'd keep everything black, and keep the wheels standard grey/silver as they come.

PS - just seen your car list in your signature, very nice. But keep the Vanquish - get rid of the M5 if you have to choose between the two !!!!

Maybe if you did a time attack red stripe around the outside of the wheel and kept the rest black? I don't like the solid red wheel at all.

The red grill makes me think of that puppet "Madame", or some kind of muppet.

Hey - you asked.

Agree would'nt go down well here in the UK but can see by the picture definately not the UK! Im having my wheels Matt black and even that wont go down to well here on an M5.
All red wheels a bit to much for my taste but hey thats just my opinion go for what you want!
