Be honest :P
Be interested to see them on - I think they are a little over the top - I also think you need a little more colour contrast. A friend of mine ordered his Aston DBS in Mettalic Charcoal with graphite coloured wheels and it looks mean but a bit dull

I don't like them at all. Lorinser knock-offs that don't look that great.

i've seen better looking wheels out there. but, i like the fact you aren't buying the same set of wheels that everyone else has. it seems as though there are about 5 different sets of wheels that you constantly see on here (aside from a few fellas).

I like these TSW's 10X's better than the Lorinser Knock-offs. These TSW's kinda remind me of Milleniums, which a bunch of people have on here as well.

Have you ever looked through the AFTERMARKET WHEEL THREAD?

I believe those are the TSW Sakata 5's. I think those are some of the best looking, reasonably-priced aftermarket wheels out there. I've been wanting to get a set for my fiance's 325i. MUCH classier than your previous choice. I think they would look 10x better.

Lorinser reps. Look for a guy named "coin" in this section. He either had or has the authentic version of these wheels- it would give you an idea what they look like on a car.

Watch the seller - they have great prices, but they nickle you for all the small stuff (center caps, lug bolts, etc.) take come as part of the package from other retailers. Additionally, getting them to honor their own return policy is like pulling teeth.

Hope you have better luck with them.
