Allencic,
Thanks for the advice..."I'll try to be my own man" going forward...
I appreciate that you may be trying to give me some honest advice that I'm not looking for...but it comes about very preachy. Of course I can do whatever I want with my car...and the "look at me factor" is strictly that I enjoy BMW's, and that mine doesn't look like most others where I live.
No flame to you.
Back to black rims...they look great...I have the stock silver M rims, and I use them for my snow tires...
