Is it just me, or is the blue in the wheels a little off from the body? That'd bother me.

oh, yeah, to the body kit, but I do like the rear.

If the lip was colormatched it would look better I think.. the body kit is on a 335

Gonna have to go against the grain here... but I'm not really digging the blue wheels. It's just too much blue. IMO, it takes away from the beautiful paint on the car....

That's my reaction to most fixed up luxury cars.

Why people ruin beautiful cars is beyond me.

Key to badass 3-series:
1 part 335i coupe
1 part rim change (other than dubs or chrome, everything else works)
1 part H&R sports
1 part tint
....Done.

Agreed - I generally do NOT like wheels with any non-standard color on them, and it just doesn't work here for me. The 335 is a sick car with beautiful lines, and it doesn't need the Civic style body kit for enhancement

yeah, I'd like to think we've progressed past the monochrome themes, but I know we haven't. People are still doing all-black cars, along with this kind of thing. This is not the 80's, not the 90's, not the 70's. If you remember one of the first treatments (at least in my memory) was the Trans-Am of the late 70's.. who remembers the all-baby-blue scheme... Something Pontiac continued on through the 90's with the Grand Prix, Grand Am, and Bonneville, to name a few. Yeah. The all-black SR5 pickup in Back to the Future... Knight Rider.. c'mon now, it's time to move on already. More of the clean, sleek, sophisticated. Less of the gimmicky, tacky, cheesy 70's, 80's, and 90's. The fact that this cars wheels don't even match the color of the car, only rubs salt in the wounds..

Shouldn't have painted the lip. Otherwise, I'd hit it.

I like the kit...but not in that color..if it was black (on a black 335)..it'd be sweet..rims go well in that color.

You mean like when you see a girl with down syndrome and missing a leg and an arm?

This just might be the ugliest 335i I've seen yet. *thinks for a minute* Yeah, this is definitely the ugliest 335i ever. Wheel design itself is nice, huge lip, perfect stance on the car, perfect color on the car.

Then they decided to ruin the car, so they slapped on a ricer body kit, with a carbon fiber diffuser/exhaust surround, and powdercoated the Iforged lips with an off-hue blue. Would have been nice if it maintained the stance, had a Hamann kit instead (IMO for the 335i none are great looking, but still) and had the black Iforges with a polished lip.

Whats next? A carbon fiber hood with carbon fiber hood pins? How about a carbon fiber Evo IX wing with off-hue blue paint on the sides?

such expensive wheels, and they dont even match the color of the car. It's a nice car, don't get me wrong, but it's not my cup of tea. I've seen some wheel and suspension only 335ci's that look nicer to me.

I hate the Rieger kit. The wheels are anodized blue, thats why they are off from the paint color if I remember correctly.
