These are a beautiful rim. My only problem is I have almost identical rims for my 5 series. I'm not sure if I wanna go with the same style...hmm

Although they do look nice, the Satin Black ones look better IMO on darker cars..

I agree to a point. However, one of the downsides of a black wheel is that it is very difficult to see the details of the wheel - you can't appreciate it unless you get up close. Not a problem with smoked chrome...

So true. But lets look at the upside. Even though you can't appreciate blacks wheels from far, they sure look menacing/so aggressive on the road.

I for one never really liked black on black wheels/rims, the smoke chrome gives it more contrast while still aggressive imo. Imo, black on black looks like a solid block going by
