new wheels - what do you think?
Im thinking of getting these in either 19 or 20 for the e55 (tektite grey). What do you think? (NB Im in OZ so I dont have the plethora of wheels on offer like in the US). I like them but Im not convinced of the silver accent (although the star symbol is pretty cool), as I would prefer all black. Kinda reminds me of ricer Supra's in the late 90's which all had trispoke wheels on them...anyway honest opinions fire away

acb...I think you could do better. I just get a bling feeling that shouldn't be on the E55. Good luck on the search.
