Updated look of my e46
I was able to wash my car yesterday for the 1st time in a month. So me and my friend decided to take some pics. Got new wheels for my car too.
    Also should I keep ZHP wheels as is or have them powder coated glossy black.?

Nice! Make those wheels Glossy Black, for sure!!!!!!!!!
 I get excited just thinking about it!  PS: I wouldn't powder coat, just paint them. Powder coat costs lots of $$, and doesn't offer any more protection than if you do the work yourself for a lot less $$. All you have to do is sand, 2 coats - primer, 3-4 coats -paint (glossy black engine enamel), and 2-3 coats- clear wheel coating. And, if you do the work yourself for less $$, you wont get so mad when your tire guys chip the edges around your lug nuts. (B/c it's going to happen whether you powder coat or paint them yourself. Also, to fix the chips just dab some black touch up paint in them)

I think your ride height is just about perfect.
 Leave the wheels as-is. Some contrast is a good thing, and black wheels work best with lighter body paint.

ZHP with Black Wheels
Personally, I think the silver not only give it some needed contrast, but also give the BMW the classiness it deserves. Here's another vote for leave just as is...

I vote leave the wheels the silver they are now. I love the look of the silver with the black.
Beautiful car by the way!

 Just giving you a hard time OP. This is a very "silver" crowd here.  They're just not fans of different, I mean, black wheels.  <3 you, 'festers'!!
