Black wheels or not?
I'm seriously thinking of purchasing matte black F10 M5 wheels for my silver sport packaged 535i. If not those wheels then VMR V10 wheels in matte black. Is this a good idea or should I just go with silver wheels?

you could always plastidip the silver wheels matte black, and if you don't like it, peal it off.
just from experience, make sure you put enough coats of plastidip for easy removal.

I've had black wheels on my car ever since I've owned it and just recently moved away from straight black just cuz I didn't really like how the design of the wheel kinda gets lost in photos and at certain angles during real time. That said, I'd suggest getting something with a hyper black or silver finish. Both will look great regardless. It's up to personal preference.

Thanks for the advice guys. I've had gunmetal DPE's on my 330 and Gunmetal BBS on my Avant for so long that silver wheels don't seem right to me anymore. I'll definitely go gloss black for my 535i, just stuck between the F10 M5 wheels and the VMR 710's.

IMO all-black wheels (matte, gloss, etc.) look cheap and no-class. Plus it's not 2006 anymore. At least get a black wheel that has a polished lip to give some definition/separation from the tires.
Gunmetal, hyper black, silver, polished - all look better than all-black.
