Default Wheels for black E39 M5: All Black or Black with Polished Lip?

First off: Not my poll. And I don't know what I'm trying to accomplish here, so don't ask.

Now. Wheels for a black E39 M5: All black or black with a polished lip?

satin black........polished lips depending on wheel style. The satin black will match the side and bumper moldings nicely. You know as well as anyone that gloss black and polished lips are getting somewhat played out. Ok VERY.







I like the first ones very much.

+1


To put it in dave22 words:
Getting black centers with a polished lip is like getting an E46 M3. Sure you got a "sports car", but you also got no taste.

I think it would depend on the type of wheels, but I'd probably say all black.


BTW, you should've posted a minute later.

Polished Lip?!??! Come on Dave, you're getting soft.

Dunkin Donuts vs Krispy Kreme
Dominos vs Papa Johns

The polls are getting more and more stupid every day.

What's next, Ferrari vs Hyundai? Jessica Alba vs Hillary Clinton? Shangrila Tea vs Lipton?

That's like me asking you, should I buy another NSX or look into buying a Porsche - then you coming to make a poll about it.

Softie!

It's two dudes arguing about it. They asked my opinion. I gave it. Then one of them said make a poll to see what the people here think.
