    black wheels on white car?

    hey my basketweaves are startin to peel and i was gonna have em redone. I was thinkin maybe a black center with the silver lip or should i stick to all silver. Also, if i blacked out all the chrome would the black wheels look better? i ask cus i've never seen a white car with the black wheels. thanks

      My winter wheels are black. I think it looks pretty good, plus I don't have to clean them. 8)

        Dave's cabrio was white with black wheels w/ silver lip. Doesn't he have a website. I thought it was www.davelength.com but that doesn't work for me.

            Just my personal taste.....

            but I think you loose all the detail of the wheel when they're black. Especially from a distance. If you're gonna have them re-done, I'd go with a gunshot metal color instead. Still get the dark color, but you also get to see the detail of the wheel's design.

                    e34 m5 wheels I think... you can only use those with a 5 lug swap, or an m3

                        That's part of the M-Technic body kit which also includes the bumper cover, lower valance cover and rear bumper cover

                          The wheels I believe were E34 M5 throwing stars, which he removed the "wheel covers" from to expose the 5 spoke design underneath.

                            Yes they are from an M5. Dave converted the car to a 5 lug setup from the E30 M3
