Exclamation Pick One!

On a blacked out jet black 2008 e92 335i (black kidneys, black reflectors, black window trim, tints), which would look better?



vs.

The LC818's are noticeably darker and look more concave. They are also more expensive by ~300 dollars. I like the lighter look of the M310 gunmetal, but the LC818's look good, too. Thoughts? Thanks.

(I put this in Wheels and Tires too, but that forum is slow)

Neither of these are black. They're both gunmetal, with the 818 being a darker gunmetal. I want to know which would look better on a jet black e92, not which ones look better by themselves.

If you're going all black elsewhere, get black wheels.

I don't wanna murder it out, and black wheels doesn't provide enough contrast to even show the rim style...

I'm glad someone finally admits it... I'd say the first style.

My vote would be for the 2nd style. Very nice and classy rims, Murdered out with dark rims looks hot, murdered out with black rims I'm not too crazy about.

I thought "murdered out" is to completely darken/black the car everywhere. So isnt dark and black wheels the same? unless theres the brighter kind of darkness

Id pick 2nd one!
