Help me choose new wheels
I've decided to change up the wheels on my 335i coupe. I currently have a split 5 spoke wheel, something I had on my TL too, and I want a change. Help me choose between these 2 designs. Face would be matte black and the lip will be something special .

Here are the choices:


Here is what the car looks like now:

The MB 5IVE wheels look terrible and the Mesh 8 would go a lot better with the car.

I know this won't help much... but I like the rims you have on it right now the best...

But if I have to choose, then Mesh.

the 5 spokes wheel is too naked... mesh > 5 spokes.

what's wrong with the wheels you have now? I like them

The mesh look better than those particular five spokes, but I think the Modular VR08 would look soooo nice if you have the cash.
