Black rims look great on a white car. Racy and understated.

Asantis

I like the black Asantis you tried on the car. I have the 08 rims on my 03 but I power coated them dark grey, very little gloss, almost matte. I like the look but it does look like they have brake dust all over them even when they are just washed. I was thinking of switching to matte black. Either way it's a bit of a compromise. This car is gorgeous I don't think putting chrome rims on this car looks good, too ostentatious. Matte is personally my favorite, downplayed but still sick. I get more comments on the rims of my car then the actual car!

I have a premium set of 19 " Brabus monoblock 6 polished 2 piece wheels for sale. 8.5 front and 10s in the rear. They are the real deal.

Wheels are in great shape pm if interested.

These wheels look classy with any exterior color. Car is coming off lease.
