Pretty much the same style, just get your wheels refinished and it'll cost A LOT less.

In that case, sell the powdercoated wheels or trade with someone when your lease is up

when you decide to take off your rims, take it a local rim shop and have them paint or powdercoat your wheels.

doesnt look good IMO, but if you like it. do it!

The "Black Edition" 19" wheels are available through the BMW parts dept. (in Europe that is!) , but I don't think you want to know the price tag...

They are not considered U.S. spec parts due to the fact that the M3 Edition models are considered Euro-spec only vehicles. (not sold in the United States)

Why is that important?

Because if you want any Euro-spec part off those cars, BMW will make it very difficult for you to get them through normal channels. That's just how they roll.

And because they are so difficult, the prices go through the roof.(2-3x list price)

Ask anyone who has successfully obtained a genuine BMW Euro-spec part for the M3, and you'll start to understand where I'm coming from...

BTW: These are the same M double-spoke style 220 wheels that are available as an option on the M3 here in the states. They are just painted BLACK, instead of the 'standard' machine polished face /w/ gun metal inner barrel and clear coat finish. That's it.

Unless you want "bragging rights", it makes no sense to pay a premium for the black version of these wheels from the factory in Germany.
