They look very nice! And you weren't kidding about taking a while to load. I have cable modem connect, and it still took a few seconds to see the pictures.

looks great, almost resembles the chrome shadow rims on the the current M3 and M5. As others have said, tell us more on how to get that finish on the rims please!

I'm going for a stock "racer" look... I took the wheels to a wheel-repair service and requested the same color as the dash...

My old-man is looking for a triple-chrome finish on his wheels... it'll look AWESOME on his BLACK COOPER-s!!!

I really like that look of the wheels. Like someone mentioned, it resembles the 'Chrome Shadow' of M-style wheels (and the Type-R wheels on my car )
