I was told my new wheels look "ghetto". Are they too shiny? Is my car too low?

Thank you! I will try to ignore any kind of criticism she gives me about the car. I don’t make fun of their 128… Thank you! “Clean” is definitely the look I’m going for! Thank you I’ve always been a fan of red 3-series coupes! She is an extreme hater…it’s so ironic that she used to hate of 128/328’s so hard and now she rides around in one and is trying to hate on my car now! Thank you those are the kinds of descriptive words I like to hear! Quote:
Thanks dude I love your car btw! Clean and classy is exactly what I’m going for, and “ghetto” seems like the exact opposite to me and that's why I was surprised. I feel like these wheels are actually somewhat conservative… I could see her saying they were ghetto if I got some 20” chrome wheel with a big polished lip, but I think these are pretty OEM looking

I don't think its possible for OEM style wheels to look "ghetto". If the wheel type looked good enough for the engineers at BMW, they look good enough for me.

Thank you...I also think they are pretty far from ghetto....
This is exactly where I am coming from...CSL style wheels have been proven to look good on 3-series for a couple generations now...and I think the m359 style matches the lines of the e90/92's quite well...and yes, I would trust the BMW designers' opinions of my ex's anyday when it comes to what looks good on our cars.

Just the perfect drop and clean wheels + mskirts , leaving the oj reflector just says you didnt tamper much with bullshit mods. Sometimes its hard to hold back on lil things like that.

Nice wheels...the finish is just right for your car's color & window trim. But for me, it's just too low...

1.black grills 2.reflector delete 3.ebay m3spoiler 4.blacked out roundels 5.other small stuff like that eventually (and hopefully) they get to other things like wheels and a drop. Don't get my wrong all those mods can look good and tastefull (except the non-oem roundels IMO). I just don't think putting a trunk/roof spoiler on a stock car makes it look that much better. I would save those things for later on down the road. But once again, I'd rather save that money for some Stoptechs or something I almost want to take off my black kidneys....maybe keep the middle section black and have the chrome outer ring...(i have the reverse right now, black outside with chrome slats)

Thanks! I think it matches the trim nicely as well. I understand that a lot of people are going to think it’s too low. I was actually on the fence about it as well. It makes me happy when I look out my office window though

You're talking to a traditional/OEM+style of modder here and I can tell you being brutally honest, there is nothing ghetto about those wheels.
The car could be raised a touch but I don't think the height it's at is necessarily "too low". Saying all of that, if your ex's comments really are getting to you and you want to change things up, I think a gunmetal/black combo could also look gorgeous on your car.
