Hey guys,
So I've been hanging around this forum for a bit now mostly reading other posts and have decided it is time to introduce my ride to you guys. Here's she is: Name: Untitled_1.14.1.jpg

It is a 2011 335i AT. The car has 100k on it and the previous owner replaced just about every single one of the common problems that this car has which made me jump on it when I saw it. The color is not my favorite but 335i in good condition are quite hard to find in my area so I decided to sacrifice color for a better-maintained car.
Current mod list:
MHD Stage 2+, VRSF Downpipe, VRSF charge-pipe, VRSF turbo outlet,
VRSF 5' intercooler. The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. I'm kinda on a budget build here so I had to go for some of the cheaper options and sacrifice some performance.
Do you guys think black rims would better match the paint than these ones do?

Looks very nice, and looks like it was nicely cared for, congrats! Actually like the colour, maybe anthracite thin spoke wheels will suit the car, something like 18" style 193M wheels! Not always a fan of black wheels, but it could work too. Keep these current wheels as spare.

Think I'll look into these wheels. It currently has 17" on it now.

Congrats on the car. Nice mod list, so you've got great power and it sounds like a lot of the usual suspect maintenance items are squared away, which is great.

Not a fan of black wheels.

Congrats on the ride! I always liked the 284 style wheels, because you have the chrome shadowline I think the silver wheels match well. What about going with 193 M style wheels?

I was stuck between anthracite style 193M wheels which would've worked so nicely on mine being white, and then style 189 coupé wheels for a more unusual look. Ended up going for the latter, and in standard OEM silver since I had to have them refurbished.
