I can't remember where I found this picture but let me throw this one in the mix. I personally like this one the best, BBS LM Special Edition (Made to celebrate when Ferrari won the F1 championship.. i think) The reds cap made a nice addition to the rims.
Also this a thread i found on VW forum with tons of clean rides with BBS LM, enjoy

Try a combination of BBS LM in gold finish and HID fogs 3000K. I saw someone's white M3 with that combination and it looked pretty good.

I say DO IT!!! It looks good. I've seen white porsches pull it off all the time, bmw's as well. There are also some japanese sports car that does those, re-amemiya, blitz and all kinds of low end ricerockets, it's all up to you who you'll associate it with. If you think it looks good do it, it's your car. At least you have one vote, from me.
also there are imitation gold bbs lm's going for ~1500-1600 with tires, if you don't like it, it won't be so hard on your wallet compared to $3000 bbs

yea the gold wheels would look nice with yellow fogs, which i already have, but overall i think they over power the car and dont give it a classy look. i think the graphite/gunmetal is doin it for me, or by far the silver finish (sorry sdsilverm3 dont mean to bite ur style haha), but thanks for the photoshops of ur car it really helped me decide, i like the graphite look, gives it a racey edge and itll flow with my carbon fiber accents.

Really? It looks just like the other MONOBLOCK 6 that has been around for years! I'd love to see the TYPE E on a c215 chassis car. Personally I have always thought that car to be long enough to warrant 21's (but not some super tacky bling wheels though)

IMO...BBS LM in gold looks awesome on Bimmers, but I don't think it'll look as good as silver or gunmetal for the LM on MBZ. This may have to do with we don't see gold rims on MBZ as often.

is SOLD
i was thinking about gold wheels w/ a polished lip as wheel, but i decided not to go for it because of the chrome accents on the side molding and front and rear bumper. if it didn't have too much chrome trim i probably would have done it. otherwise, im also thinking about darkening my centers like that gunmetal.

I definately like the graphite finish better with white. I think gold is more rally style but I still love that combo also...I dunno I think you should def. go with the gold though so you could be different & standout. Regardless it will look good because you can't go wrong with a MB & BBS (drool).

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
Unfortunately I don't have the cash right now, but I was looking to go with some new wheels with a larger surface area. How much do these run for the diamond cut version?
