Fast forward to collection day. I saw the "black" wheels for the first time in person (because local dealerships only had the silver wheels on their M2C) and I knew instantly that I made the right choice. They are absolutely stunning and nowhere near "black". More like gunmetal or shadow chrome. In direct sunlight, the wheels look more silver than gunmetal and remind me of the factory 18" on the e46 M3, which I adored.

Long story short, I prefer the black wheel option, especially on HS. This car already has a blacked-out theme throughout, which is why I think the darker wheels are a better match.
I fully agree, and not only are the 788s beautiful, black version is stunning and very fitting on this car. Just a bear to clean, but it really is a beautiful design
Yeah, I love the stock 788 rims. I know that it's not a popular thing to say around here, but I adore these wheels and can't see myself getting rid of them. To me, visually, a rim must match the body lines of the car. BMW designers did an amazing job in that regard. The trade off is that it's a pain to wash due to the number of spokes.
