I'm not a fan of wheels that don't have a shiny or painted lip. The blacked-out effect cancels out what aftermarket wheels are made for...to enhance the car. Instead, the wheels becomes less visible.
That look maybe fine for some but to me it's illogical to spend thousands when painting stock wheels would produce similae results.
With that being said, the 5 spoke wheel looked nice, even blacked out...because it was so open. That openness reduced the faded out effect. That openness meant the brakes and siny rotors could compensate for the fade out effect.
Now you've gone to a fuller faced wheel with the fade out effect. There is less enhancement from the rotors and calipers. Plus, the matte finish looks dull and unpainted. This set-up does not enhanbce the car. At least not in these pics....not in my opinion.
All that to say this....looked better with the other wheels. I just wanted to explain so you don't think I'm a hater. You know I have mad respect for you and in the end, it only matters that you like it.

For now I love the sinister look of the black with the matte graphite and people love it in person. The CV3 side is very open so you see more of the brake, its easier to clean
but the brakes don't seem as big. The CV2 side the brake looks like a tighter more "Porsche" like fit but its a PITA to clean.
Thanks
I will be shooting a professional shoot soon with the CV2s.
For now here is a pic next to the first E39 M5 with CV3s. Car is supercharged by Buckhead Imports with over 600hp
