Either choice is monumentally gay and completely played the fuck out. But, if we're talking about the lesser of two evils...flat black.

how many m5's have you seen with wheels on them? Just because civics play black out doesn't mean I have to roll around with green wheels.

Who said anything about green? What about, oh, I don't know...silver? Polished? Chrome, even?

Yeah, most M5s I see have stock wheels, but black/polished just looks tired and cheap to me. So many cars, from $100K+ Porsches down to half-assed "project" cars with dents and cut springs are sporting some fuckin black/polished lip wheels and it's just old. I'm also not a fan of body-colored wheels in general.

Chrome (the car is blue, but it's close): http://exorcist.1g.fi/kuvat/Autot/E3...662.jpg/medium

Just looks more classic.

There are some wheels in a shade of "burning black" or black chrome or whatever it's called that would probably look nice.

It depends on the wheel. The ones in the picture I threw up don't scream CHROME WHEELS BLINNNNNNNNNNNG like most do. To me, silver/polished/machined/whatever really can't get played out because it's just simple and clean. But whatever.

Those wheels could make just about any car that matters look sexy. Especially in gold.
