Thanks Sooty, it is those wheels but that is not my car. There is a pic of my silver M135i on here somewhere but not sure where.
Hyper has a EB car so thought it was more abt to show that pic for him ;)

PS There is a classified section on the forum which might help you sell them better than posting in this thread ;)

Thanks for the pictures guys! I really like the Ultras, they even look good without lowering the car - very tempted. Guess it may cost a bit though as I would either spray a silver set with Ferric Grey (if that's how you pronounce it), or go with a black set, which I am not sure about on an EB yet - they tend to look stunning when the car is in motion but I am not sure when it's stood still

What do you think? Too much? Obviously just a quick photoshop job - but I do love Black & Blue though, the Monte Carlo M3 is one of my all time favourite cars...

Black rims are a little like Marmite.. Some love them and some hate them...

I personally think dark rims add some aggressive intent to a car but that's me.. :)

I agree - I'm seriously thinking about getting some black rims when mine arrives.. LOVE THEM!

The problem I have is I want to fit a set of black wheels but I want them to look more BMW then after market, and examples that come to mind are the M3 and the M5 as seen here...

Alternatively if no actual BMW alloys that fit (sprayed black) look as good as these above then I guess I need some after market alloys that I can put bmw centre caps on. Any ideas/suggestions guys?
 
Simples.... Just powdercoat your 436M's then or get a BMW centre badge sticker to put on your third party wheels :)

I think the standard wheels will look a lot smaller in black though!

All black wheels can appear smaller than their brighter counterparts :)

I need those M5 alloys at 19" :)

Yeah you're right and they look tiny on that AW, just doesn't do it justice kind of thinking 3 spoke now or alternatively slim spokes like Sootys

Nice they would look sweet in gloss black, not quite as nice as the M5 alloys but still nice - do they go straight on?
