Those look like silver. I have the anthracite, and it is much darker than you expect. Hard to keep clean due to matte finish, but the color hides brake dust pretty well between cleanings.

At this stage no, however we are going to announce a new design very soon, probably by next week.

If I had my time again, I'd get gloss black. The matte finish isn't easy to keep clean.

Am keen for a fresh look on my car, stuck between 313's (price), painted (possibility) and something new 710's or these... i do like these rims and the price...

Talking to one of the frequent modifiers at work who has put a bit of effort into his Golf GTI about rims in general (not any specific brand).

his only comment was "buy a reputable rim like BBS"... what is the real difference? ,are they like push bikes, all made in the same factories, just labelled differently and you pay for a name... (for all but the top few french frames)...

Thanks for your help, is there a good review of these posted anywhere?

If there is a good indication of demand we will bring them in, it is not a problem.

BBS are no doubt superb wheels but think about the cost factor for one, would you be willing to pay about $3-4k for tyres and wheels, if you are then no doubt go for them. The wheels we offer are cast wheels which are made to very high standards meeting JWL/VIA specifications with appropriate load rating on each wheel and the best part is we have priced them well here.

Here's some recent photos in Matte Anthracite installed on a Silver car.

Yeap, this is confirmed.

Just waiting on production ETA so we can announce them together.

Meanwhile for the Gloss Black fans, here's a sneakpeak of our Gloss Black grills arriving next month for all BMW models.
