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

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?

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.

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.

Look good
Are these 21" rims? and how wide they are? which tires are installed?

Yeah, not sure exactly... Seems incomplete. Usually it's obvious either a go or no go. The wheels are are great looking. I just really liked your car the way you had it set up and this is a big change imo, that's all. I think if you had more polished accents it would make a huge difference in the appearance. This is just my irrelevant opinion from the PNW.

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

+1 and personally like the one piece type of wheels for the simplicity

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.
