Absolutely, they are not for everyone! And I am cool with that. No offense taken. And considering the stable of cars you have and the mods you've done to them, your opinion definitely holds a lot more weight with me than some cat rolling around on Concept-3 wheels on a 09 C63.
if everyone rolled on black or silver wheels the world would be a boring place. That car of yours is no joke either, enjoy

Hahaha...oh no, pertplus doesn't approve of my wheels and thinks they are cheap pieces of crap. How will I sleep at night! Heaven forbid someone on the forum doesn't have HREs on their car. Who cares what you think of my opinion. You posted up pics in a thread genius...so you're welcoming people to make comments. Sorry they hurt your feelings

Ballsy move with the red wheels but I love it. I think you need to bring in a slight touch of red somewhere else, just a dot of it, maybe a few grill bars or the chrome inserts on the door handles. One of the best looking F10 M5's I have seen, nice work.

Thanks!! Yeah I have thought about the tri-color on the grill. Also, I like that the wheels almost perfectly match the rear taillights. I am going to start thinking of maybe a little more touches that dont overdo it but maybe pull the look together more.

i hate fruity colored wheels.
BUT OH MY GOD THOSE LOOK INSANE ON YOUR CAR. Thumbs up for having the cohones to go for that look! Well worth it, honestly looks great, head turner for sure. Guess it's a personal taste kind of thing for whoever doesn't like it, but it's unique and thats what people try to go for when modding no? Thats what i dont like about AMG aftermarket, everyone has the same lip or diffuser or spoiler lol. Goodjob! Would love to see more with your other car!

Definitely not for everyone, and if I get tired of the color, I can always have them refinished. Appreciate all the opinions, the good, the bad and hilarious!!!

Just in case the exhaust is not loud enough when you get on it the wheels are louder haha
Sick car anyway inside and out but I'm surprised there's a plastic dashboard and not leather like the m6. Do you have a tune on it?

No tune has come out for this engine except a "press tune". So I am waiting for a real one to come out. I have to look at the dashboard again and see whether its plastic or leather, dont remember off hand.

Thanks for that. This concludes my thoughts. Bad-***.
I don't understand why people would say it's 'ricey'. Sure the colour scheme may not be for everyone, but to call it ricey and degrade it as opposed to simply saying; "Wrong choice in colours buddy!"... is beyond me. I smell a whiff of jealousy.
By the way.. not sure what a press tune is, and excuse my ignorance since I'm not really in-tune, so to speak, with BMW's... but doesn't the X5/6 M carry the same engine? Aren't there tunes for them?

Hahahaaaa....thanks for the props. The wheels -- in my opinion -- are fantastic. But they are, without a doubt, loud and in the world of opinions, divisive. I wanted a color to pop on the M5 because I was tired of doing charcoal...and I thought black just got lost in the blue of the car. For a lot of people, this color combo is better suited for the Evos, GTIs, WRX, etc. And I wouldn't disagree. But I like how the car pulls it off.
Definitely not for everyone, and if I get tired of the color, I can always have them refinished. Appreciate all the opinions, the good, the bad and hilarious!!!

I was at SEMA in October and the one HUGE trend I noticed everywhere was colored wheels, HRE had more bright colored wheels in their show booth than they had black or silver. I know it is not for everyone but at least it is a fresh look, black wheels are quickly going the way of the mullet I'm affraid. I had a set of track wheels made for the SLS by Klassen I had them do them in black, I might send them back to have them done in Mars Red just like my street wheels.

Black wheels are getting played out fast. I was doing black wheels 11 years ago. I did dark matte grey on my C BS and red on my SLS BS, I did order the SLS with black wheels from the factory but only because it was the lesser of two evils on the red car with all the black cf and I knew I would be changing them anyhow.
