Everyone on the board obviously has superb taste in cars :D so I am asking for a little advice and perhaps some photoshop help if possible.
I am looking at putting these wheels w/ Blizzack LM-22 RFT on the car for winter use and am wondering how you guys think they would look?

If there are any Photoshop gurus out there perhaps you could photoshop them on the car so we could get a general idea of how they would look, Maybe you could throw a Roundel ceter cap on there as well if you feel like a challenge :wink:

Any advice/comments would be appreaciated.

Thanks Guys
 
I too have been looking to upgrade my wheels. I just love the look of your stock BMW wheels.

Mine just seem so drab compared to yours.

I had those as my winter wheels on my previous car - a Honda S2000. 2 problems of note:

First off is the polished flange around the edge. Winter crud will scar those puppies in no time at all as it is not a durable finish at all - just polished metal that will scratch the frist time you wash them down.

The second issue is the black - aside from all the racer boy image comments (and you will get plenty) I was thinking that black would be neat because it would hide the fact that I was cleaning things less often in the winter. That turned out to be false. Brake dust seems to be an almost reddish brown color when it gets deposited on black rims and they looked worse than if I had just done silver rims.

When I called tire rack this year to get some winter wheels for the Z4 I followed their advice this time and got some rims that are silver painted. Their take was that these are far easier to clean and a more resilient finish than anything that is polished metal.
 
I reckon those wheels look great. Not so sure if they would suit a black car though. Red car, definitely.
