pic request - and opinions - black on AW

I'd like to see some good pics of black wheels on AW E90's, particularly V710's. I say good, because I've seen only one or two and they're poor quality or over photoshopped.

After parting with my Iconz, I'm badly itchin' for new wheels for my car but damned if can make a decision. I'm leaning (hard) toward V710's in matte black, (I've got matte black kidneys and dark tint) but I see so many good roller choices out there, hard to make the decision.

So lets see some black roller on white E90's, or anything else that looks especially nice

for starters, hers' my car quickly photoshopped with V710's in MB, GM and SG...

The matte black looks bad ass. I would go that way. I think that would look sick.

I have a AW E90 M Sport and I have been looking for the same type photos as you. There has to be someone out there with some. I am leaning toward V710 as well but more toward Gunmetal for the fact that you loose a lot of detail with M Black and Gunmetal still gives a nice contrast.

You're exactly where am.

On one hand, I have dark tint, Matte Black kidneys, b&w and carbon roundels, and keep my car very clean, so I think the Matte Black wheels would look great, especially seing that E92 M3 above. BUT, I've always thought the one drawback to black wheels is the lack of seperation between wheel and tire.

What I'd REALLY like to see is a set of V710's in Storm Grey on an AW E90!

The other wheel that's got me interested in the new (coming soon) 20" M310 V710 lookalike wheel from Avant Garde. That extra inch of diameter could potentially add a nice bit of additional visual concavity.

Just when I thought the choice couldn't be harder!

Thanks for the pics!

What's the real world difference between Matte and Solar Black? Solar more satin? Hard to tell. Looks hot though!

LOL, I kind of thought it will make it harder after I posted.

Solar Black is Signature PYSpeed Powder Coat Finish. Its two tone black during day and night. At night, it's just like Matte Black ~

Here is a close up in direct sunlight
