The car is curvy and sculptural - imo, it does not blend well with 'angular' wheels with primarily straight lines in them. Consider the 162s, which are a beautiful sculptural wheel that fit the car perfectly - the 162 has dimensional and rounded lines, just like the car.

AFter a more sculpted wheel, a mesh style is less straight-lined and has a better chance of a good fit with the car. Even the 5 spoked wheels from BMW (such as the 179 and 195) are less angular and more dimensional. So its possible for a 5 spoke to work if it fits well with the car.

And as maxpain suggests, color is very important, imo. Guess I'm not into bling, so super shiny finishes seem to distract me, rather than blend in a way that make them look like they are made for the car. If the wheels stand out too much color-wise, I don't have a sense of complete package.

Just my opinion...
