Which Finish for 20" Style 214's? 011 Vermillion Red 35c
I recently acquired a 2011 Vermillion Red 35d...After owning an X6 35i and an X6 50i, I can say this is my favorite BMW SAV of the three.. Absolutely love it.
Living in the snow belt, I have an 18" winter tire/wheel set-up on it now. Recently I traded my 19" All Season Continental Set in on Style 214 20" wheels and summer rubber. So I have this credit and now I need to decide which 20" Style 214 wheel finish to go with? It was a no brainer earlier when there was only the traditional OEM Silver Finish. But now BMW is offering a new black high gloss finish on the 214 that I am seriously considering....A very different look than traditional finish wheel for sure! I really like them both..However, if cost is not out-of-whack, I'm starting to lean to the high gloss black wheel finish with blacked-out grills...Am a little concerned I might tire of it after a year or two.. I've posted this poll on a couple of SAV sites hoping to garner many opinions...Would welcome everyones thoughts.. __________________

Definitely go for the gloss black! If you don't like it, you can always trade/sell that set for the traditional 214's on here. No brainer.

+1, especially since most of the trim on the car is matte/flat.

I like the black with either White or Black, matte black though - don't like gloss black in any case.
