F22 Melbourne Red

Recently came into ownership of a 2015 228i 6-speed manual. Attached some pictures down below. Looking to put some new rims on. Was thinking about these ( https://**********s.com/sportline-8s...eels-for-bmws/ )
Anybody have any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Black wheels on that red will look real good. I also went with Dark Grey on mine but only cause the car is black and i wanted some contrast.

Also blacking out that chrome trim would be good too so the whole outside matches.

This. Black wheels, black out the chrome and that thing will look super mean!

I'm sad we didn't have the option of a nice red on the M2. The color looks great on the 2-series.

Black would look amazing on that, gloss not satin or flat. Not sure budget, but the Titan 7 TS5 would look great on there..they are forged but decent price. ($500 real solid for forged, they won't be available until mid April)

Such a good suggestion 👍
What about a tint, too?

If and when you get the black wheels, also suggest wrapping the daylight opening moulding to gloss black. It was $400 and a few hours at a local shop. Replacing or painting would have been far less practical and more costly, requiring removing the rear quarter windows.
