Black or Silver?
Folks,
I'm looking at changing the OEM chrome rims on my 08 535I to some Avant Garde M310's in either matte black or polished chrome. The picture with the black rims looks exactly like my car. Couldn't find a pic the same color as mine with the chrome I wont. My moldings are black. Majority of opinion has been chrome to keep the classy look but I want to change it up. Opinions are welcome.

Is that chrome or polished? Doesn't matter, not the black.

Not black. Silver looks cleaner.

Sliver. I only like black rims if it has a polished chrome lip.

I'm not a mod guy but like the look of the black. I really cannot stand all the brake dust, however, as my car always looks dirty. So if I were ever to do an external mod, other than tinting which I have, it'd be the black rims.

I like the polished chrome, like in the first picture. Black rims on a black car look dull as there is simply no contrast.

It's not a black car chill so does that change your mind? I have oem chrome now and just wanted to change it up. Tough decision

Those black rims do not look bad at all. I do think black on black is not that sweet however, maybe if you threw chrome lips in there.

Not a fan of the black with chrome lip. Too bad there's not many models my color with similar wheels I can find to reference.

I would leave them. They are great rims the way they are, very classy.

I like the wheels in the first picture ... like Oceans said, they're very classy looking.

There is no queston that I am old school, why tamper with perfection, the stock BMW is what makes it stand out. My preference would alway be to maintain the original design of the vehicle, although I see some pretty impressive mods out there. I guess that is why I do not have tatoos.

Defo black matte!
I have the BMW OEM 269 performance wheel installed on mine. Spent $3,200 + tax at a local dealership. Should have got these Avant's instead. For me, I prefer black > chrome > polished chrome. Black wheel matte looks badass on a black BMW. Anyway, here are some pics. Any opinions is welcomed! |

+1 The M5 chrome rim (what I think is pictured just above) is bad ass.

Wow, never thought anyone would like those on my 5. I am not sure whether those are M5 wheels though. I wish I had black wheels instead.

If I could put the OEM 269s on a xdrive, I'd have done it months/years ago.
