Not usually a fan of gold wheels, but they somehow work with the grey. Now if you could wrap or paint the other chrome trim to match, that would look neat.

I think Bönz is onto something. Gold trim with those wheels would be great.

I'm with Bönz on this one. If someone said gold wheels to me a couple of months ago my initial reaction would have been to cringe a little bit. Then I see a picture like this, or of the white one with gold wheels I first saw, and just love the look. I have a feeling Bönz has a really good idea here. Maybe testing it by wrapping them to match would be a great way to see which if not all would be a good look.

Even some of the car colors I would never buy are now looking pretty good to me once you all get through with tweaking them. It's one of the things I love about this place - everybody is doing something a bit different but it all looks pretty darn good if not down right fantastic (oh, to be honest there have been two mods I still do not like). Seeing some of these "I'd never do that to mine" looks you guys have been kind enough to post has really opened my eyes and ended up adding several things to my car - and more are coming . Thanks everyone!

Either that or black trim. Just looks odd to me with chrome and gold.

I like those gold rims. It matches the body of your ride. What size are those?

May I ask if these are factory wheels and tires and if so, are these a complete Front / Rear set from an M5?

Thanks!

I read in another thread that the max you can go on the rear is 285 tyres on the M5 343M wheels. Yours seem to look fine - any issues?

For visual porpoise due to the huge 650i front brakes I have to use 5mm front spacers.

As you can see in the pictures, perfect flush fitment.
