Bimmian Colored Roundels

Should I get Bimmian Colored Roundels? If I would get the Bimmian Colored Roundels should I go with the Black CF, Jet Black or the Black Sapphire Metallic? Or just keep it as is
I have 'replaced' the chrome lugs with the black stock lugs. (looks better!) Sorry no new pictures yet.

get jet black, bsm will have metallics in it and IMO the carbon fiber overlays look tacky. I would also get bimmian shadow emblems to complete the whole black/white theme.

Go with jet black, that blue really does stand out on the black wheels.

I've never been a fan of the colored roundels. It's like painting a different color on the U.S. flag.

I liked the colored roundels at first but now I think they just look cheap/ricer

I hate colored roundels, seems like you are defacing the BMW logo. The logo stands for prop blades over a blue sky....if you change the color wtf does it mean?

In the end it's your car, but personally I think it's a stupid thing to do. It doesn't look bad like that, so what if the blue stands out...have some BMW pride.
