Not quite sure how the polished lips look with the 'blacked out' trim theme.

Just 'pretty cool'...?.!.? LOL.

I am good friends with the seller, so we did a swap+cash. But I may actually buy them back. I didn't realize how found of them I became. Lol

Should I change my exhaust tips to polished now to match the wheel lips?

Lol. After seeing more pics i think they look really good. And I wouldn't change the exhaust tips to polished I'd keep as is.

I like the wheels, but I'm just on the fence with them on your car. The very last pic looks good tho, so maybe it's just the lighting. I think they would look better with polished exhaust tips. Also changing the side vents back +/- door handles to stock would give it a nice contrast.

Love 'em, just the right mix of flair and dark elements! Toss up on the exhaust tips - either would look good.. polished would get my vote.

Thanks guys! I think I will change to polished tips.

Also considering changing my M5 badge back to stock and the side vents as well.

Why on the fence? Curious for your take on it.

I'm thinking maybe have the polished changed to brushed and have the centers changed to satin instead of gloss.

Stock, non-CP. Thanks. I'd like to lower, but it's my daily and I really don't want to reduce my approach angle as I have to be able to drive around on the lovely Northeast roads.

This is just my irrelevant opinion from the PNW.

The wheels are great, but not a fan of the finish.

Def appreciate your opinion as you are stating it with respect. (Your normal style... Which is why I wanted to know more)

I think I know what you mean... And I think I'm feeling the same way. Lol.

I know what you mean. But I wanted a more 'sport luxury sedan' look. The 1-piece to me screams 'no frills performance'.

As for the finish... I would agree. Not my ideal choice. But the deal was too good to pass up.

I already reached out to HRE to get a quote on refinishing.

Standard 21" fitment as I've seen others running.
