18" VMR 710 on 07 328xi

Tires are 235-40 BFG KDW2. I've had these tires before on two other cars and think they are an excellent all-around summer/wet tire, even if the tread pattern is unconventional (to the point of being ugly in some people's eyes)

I'm not a very good photographer and this is the best I could do in my driveway tonight. I'm totally digging the look and the car looks incredibly better than with the stock 17" 7-spoke style 185s... even if it is an XI with stock suspension and you all are going to tell me it needs a drop

I'm not much for mods beyond just rims/tires and audio, but I'm extremely pleased with my purchase. Thanks to JLeviSW/Nick!

how come you choose silver over gunmetal?

Because I'm an old fart who still thinks all wheels should be silver

As an aside, my co-workers are not car people, but I usually park by the entrance to our parking lot and this morning many people stopped by my desk to compliment them.
