I still have my Z, but had to buy a 'family' car due to baby on the way. I picked up a 2003 BMW 330xi. I have several upgrades planned for it already, including a drop (it's a disease!). But I am having trouble with my wheel decision

I am liking the LTW EmPower mesh wheels to replace my OEM 20-spoke 17". I have no problem going with the silver, but was wondering if the anthracite would be too much dark grey on my steel grey metallic 330xi. Any opinions on the matter? Or any photochoppers that might be bored enough to help give me a visual?

The anthracite wheel:


The car (not mine, but same):


The silver wheel for reference:


BTW, the 18x8.5=18.3 lbs!!! That's 5 lbs. lighter than my Work Emotions on the Z.

im sure you can find relative info there good luck.

 

Yeah, I have this posted on bimmerforums.net, but there isn't a lot of activity over there in the wheel section. I know the guys and girls over here are very adamant about wheels so I thought I might get some valuable criticism over here.

 

Yeah, not diggin the anthracite with the color of your car. Too much gray. I think there needs to be some contrast from the car to the wheels unless it's black on black. I think silver would be a better choice. But that's just my opinion.

Nice looking wheels btw. How much do they run?
