I really hate to be negative...The wheels do looks good, although Im not fond of the buttons, But the smoked tails over do it.
Im a big proponent of white cars and black wheels(as I run my 3'er that way), but its very easy to make the car look...ghetto...I remember when I was 18 I was all about that stuff, but at the ripe age of 26, I really cant stand smoked tails anymore, Especially on white cars, it just screams for too much attention. But hey, everyone has their style, so go for what make you love the car. I just think there is a reason people hate on any black wheeled white cars, its because most overdo it. |

Why 20's, because that was your decision and my decision was 22's. We all have different taste and ideals....

I don't think the car is overdone at all. I think the contrast of black and white on the car looks good including the smoked tails.
The only thing I would do is remove the colors off the kidney grills as I think the car should run completely with the white/black/gray look. You could even do a white/gray/dark gray for the front kidney grill lines (if you really wanted to keep them). I like changing the brake caliper color as well and recently I saw a white Ferrari 458 w/ matching white calipers (it had black wheels) and it looks so clean and badass. So I might change that as well. Other than that the car looks good in my opinion. Brian

I guess I would define "ghetto" as in... "ATTENTION" look at me. Perhaps flashy would have been a better phrase, and I think its what most refer too when they say "ghetto". I say that because I feel like ghetto people, are looking for all the attention they can get. Always done to the 9's in something flashy in anything from cars to clothes and everything in between. I know cars are fun to go crazy with, and Ive sure ass hell been there myself, but when you drive one of the hottest cars on the road, there is no need in my opinion for extra attention...from most probably ghetto people and the popo anyways. |

I agree with that statement about 20's for performance, ride quality, and durability. For road course, drag strips, and winter months I use 20's for that purpose. So I get the same satisfaction out of my car as you and still can put my 22's on for show season.

A few of my closest friends are cops, they tell me the 2 biggest attention getters for them, from a perspective of surveying a landscape of cars to give tickets, is 1 Extremely dark tint, and 2 darkened lights. Thats the last kind of attention I would want. I suppose all humans want attention regardless in some form, and we as car enthusiasts LOVE our cars, and we want people to know. I completely get that, which is why I refrain from negative comments most of the time and especially on the 3 board, cause lets face it. Alot of 3 drivers are young, and overdo the cars. But when it comes to the M6, especially, these things are fucking marvelous. They get plenty of attention stock. Throw a dope set of wheels on and an exhaust and call it a day. Well thats just me, sorry for ranting. All I can say is people shit their pants when they hear my M6, EVERYONE says WOW. with mods like dark taillights, you open yourself up to people who love it or people who hate it, not that the driver should care, but like I said, there is a reason why people talk shit on black wheeled white cars, and its because most overdo it. This car with stock tails, and red calipers, would be STUPID hot!!! And my original comment would have been something along the lines of Beautiful!!! or Sweet ride!!! But with everything black and white only, the buttons stick out too much and the whole car looks...flashy/ghettoesque. |
