Not normally a fan of black wheels on any car but I really like this look.

Any thoughts?

Nice looking wheels on E85 & the polished outer lip really sets them off , you could use them on either of your Zs with the right offsets :oops: :D

They look like 18's to me Andy, much as I like 19's on an M it's all about the feel of the car, I don't want to spoil anything. Do you think they're 18's?

I have the same question at the moment. I am thinks to buy the Black BBS-CH-R.
On the first photo i guess it is BBS CH and not the CH-R.
In case you get the CH you have to put spacers on the car, since the ET they have is not the right one.
The CH-R can fit without spacers.

In my case I have asked many people. Most of them say they do not like it since the prefer the silver coloured rims.
At the end the thing that maters is how you feel happy. The BBS - CH or CH-R is a beautiful wheel and if get bored of the colour, you can change it.

Great as a wheel in black is also the ARC-8 for me.

Plilip which size do you have? And this colour is the silver or the titanium? Also do you have a more distant photo of the car? Thanks.

They look OK when spotless clean, but get some brake dust on them :thumbsdown:

These are my wheels when I collected them.

I almost bought a 12K mile black ///MC with these wheels back in 2009. It looked amazing lowered and with aeroskirts, but unfortunately the car had a dodgy history.
