Arrow 20" Tomason TN4 >vs< Lexani RT-149 PhotoShopped @ black E92

Found a friend of me who was willing to do a PS for me of completely different 20" wheels (perhaps you'll remember the rims of an earlier thread of me).
OK, the brakedisks and other details aren't always shown that good, but I believe it's clear enough...
Finally can compare them perfectly!

You've seen the poll above; but don't hesitate to give your opinions anyway... I'll give mine later on

- Tomason TN4 (9x20")




- Lexani RT-149 (8,5x20")





- Some wheels can look completely different without tires and being mounted on a car. Below, I've attached the 'company pictures'.











(I'd also like to give credits to the owner of this car, of which I've used the original picture to do this PS; but I don't remember his (user)name. Thanks anyway to him/her.)

I'm not really a fan of either of those, I would like to suggest HRE monoblocks!

I actually like the Lexani. 19's would be better than 20's though.

Not a fan at all of either of those. First wheels look like Nissan R35 GT-R wheels. I dont think IMO Lexanis or Asantis belong on a BMW, maybe on an escalade.

This style of wheels isn't really my taste, but don't get me wrong, they're not ugly or whatever.
I've noticed that I seem to be more into 'European style'; so perhaps that can explane a bit (and euh, I am from Belgium, Europe ...).
To be hounest, I'm looking for new rims for months now, but haven't found the wheels that I have to have, no matter what it costs.
I prefere 20"s, and if possible with low ET value (+/- 30 in front and 15 in back).... but most important off course are the looks of it, on my black car.

You're probably right, because to me, the Lexani's are the best looking of them (I also prefere 5 spoke if possible) when you see the rims apart. I could also let the black 'background' replace by gunmetal, directly from the factory...
But 'mounted' onto this car, the spokes look (way too) narrow, and therefore, the gap between them probably is too big, especialy with 20"s... So from that point of view, 19"s would be better, but ......
