Thoughts on LeMans Blue

Any thought on these wheels on Lemans Blue E90, XXR 527 in Chromium Black (Basically like hyperblack)
Serously thinking of pulling the trigger and getting a set, either these or volk te37 replicas or similiar style

I looked at some XXR wheels and have you checked that they make 5x120? Im not sure that they do.

I would go with te37 reps before these. Who knows though, they may look great.

Yes in Europe they make a 5x120 in both 18x8.75 and 18x9.75, it's hard to find te37 replicas under $1000 dollars in Europe.

I like the hyper black on blue. Hyper black doesn't "wash out" (for lack of a better term) compared to black

The more the look at them the more I like them. They are pretty concave. I say go for it.

I think the 531's would be good looking too.

I don't think the 522 looks good.

I would do the 531 in platinum if it were my car. I love that blue and would look great with those. AND you can do 18x9.5 and 18x11 on the rears!!!
