i ran accross these - they look interesting/different.... they play with my head, it's a negative space thing i think. don' t know and can't place my finger on it - what do you think?

Are they BMW wheels? I don't mind the design but the "negative space" thing I don't get! :evil2 Also, I don't really care too much for the dish-less wheels. They don't give you the feeling of depth plus I think they are more propense to curb rash...

Of course, this is just one person's take and opinion. Bottom line is that you go with what you like and looks good to you.

No! Never seen em, and after seeing them, I understand why. I am an OEM guy myself, or at least Rondell 58's! OR, crosspoke BMW wheels, but tough to clean.

But, there's a wheel for every family. Someone must likem or they wouldn't exist.

My 2 cents.

I personally cant bear the look of these wheels!A comment above about some one must like them or they wouldn`t exist,makes me laugh a bit-you should see some of the wheels in the E38 accessories catalouge if you want a laugh.Maybe someone somewhere likes them,but Iv`e certainly never seen most of them on anyones car!Personally I can`t go past my 20"Alpinas......except maybe the new 20" Alpina designed for the E65.............

Funny, on my E38 I much prefer the simpler parallel spoke of the M-wheels to anything else out there. However, on the new E65's, I LOVE this more modern style of wheel.

I like them too, on the right car ;)

I too love the look of the M-parrallels,they sure look much easier to keep clean than my Alpinas!Unfortunatly I feel they just look a little too small for my taste on the 7.Great on the 5 though with the lower profile rubber.I was hoping BMW might have come up with something simelar to the parrallel in 19 or 20"for the new 7,but unfortunatly not!

Mmm, unremarkable.

Plus, there is no point in putting 17s on an E38, IMHO of course!
