Black wheels on a silver 325xi?
I have a 2002 325xi with sport package, hence 17" Style 73 wheels. I'm going to replace them as they are pretty bad. Thought about refinishing them, but they've always been a pain to clean so I'd like something lower maintenance with fewer spokes.
I was looking at these Rial Nogaro wheels at tirerack.  Not sure if it would look nice on a silver 325xi. Any thoughts? Was also considering Beyern Mesh, I believe they're also available in black. Any opinions? Any suggestions? Something under $200/wheel, and I'm planning on staying with the stock 17". We have potholes, and going to a 45 profile tire is enough I think. I'm planning on mounting Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires. That's what I have now and they've been awesome in summer and winter. |

It's never been done before.
j/k It would look pretty good as long as you continue to black out the kidney grils and perhaps a smoked look for the lighting.

It would look great but I am wondering what color the end caps on the wheels are, silver or white? I know the wheel does not accept a BMW end cap due to its weird size ( around 52 mm).

I know its not the best way to go but if it came down to it you could get the cheap ones that stick on . carbon fiber would look good

I would suggest taking a look at TireRack.com for 17's. Most sponsors on here offer specials for 18"+.
