Default Can't decide on rims

Hey guys I have a white 08 550i with the stock Rims but the last owner decided to chrome them -_- I don't know if I should powder coat them black or get new rims. Any suggestions would be helpful

I'd get new lighter rims personally. Usually chrome rims are boat anchors.

so true. I'd invest in a good set of wheels. You wont regret it. Not to mention you can sell them later as long as you don't fuck on them too hard.

My preference, is anything with a step lip. If you get rims, do you intend to lower your car at some point?

Lowering is a matter of personal choice. If you decided to do it, just buy quality springs, etc so that ride will not be rough.
