Black with the silver time attack ring for sure.

I am not the biggest fan of ALL black wheels... I have a black e90 with black wheels and polished lip.... IMO you need the lip or time attack ring to break up the black and really set it off...

Go check out a white bmw with black wheels... then check out one with black wheels with a white time attack ring... time attack looks 100000x better IMO.

My opinion: black wheels get "lost" on a black car, its too much black and the details are completely gone. For you, I think silver would create a great contrast with the rest of the car.

Silver looks the cleanest, black actually looks OK on these wheels (most black 1 piece make the car look cheap) with the contrasting lettering but that stainless ring looks terrible. Most importantly make sure you get the deep face all around, flat fronts with concave rears looks like crap.

If your car is dark, go for the silver...if your car is light in color, go for black with polished lip.

silver on black is soooo classy. black on black is a little too immature for my taste.

Well I am not proficient in Photoshop, but I would just take a picture of a profile of your car, cut out and re-size the wheel image. then paste it where the wheel goes.

you can try with Beyern wheels . com. it has a virtual wheel flash. you cant get close I guess. this is what I used.

http://www.beyernwheels.com/

This wheel has lip, and the mesh is similar but not exact. There was no gun metal.

Silver will be the classy option. If you decide to pull off black wheels make sure you have agressive mods.

silver so you have more contrast to your car. I am never a fan of black wheels
