I really need to stop coming into this thread *sigh
Thanks JC. I'm, glad you appreciate the raw pics, because I always wish I had a real camera and take better pics LOL! I hear you on the moonroof, I agonized over it, but it looks so slick to me without it. I think if I did get the moonroof, I would have regretted it for sure. Do what your gut tells you.

Another pic of HS with FG 763M wheels as some have requested. The color is hard to photograph accurately with a camera phone but in this picture the way the rear wheel turned out is a good representation of what they look like in bright/direct sun. The upper left corner of the front wheel is how they look at night.

Those look like the black version of the silver Apex wheels CoChris put on his vehicle . . . is that correct?

Do those wheels support BMW center wheel cap?

I believe those are Forgeline wheels. I have found those to be one of the lightest and strongest wheels for the track on my Porsches. Never had them on a BMW.

Thank you kyrocks!

Your 'lightest and strongest' descriptors suggest those bad boys cost a lot of $$$$$.

You are incorrect. They are cheaper than BBS and HRE. They are one of the most affordable forged wheels.

As you know, I do not even qualify as an amateur photographer. . . unless random iPhone pics qualify these days?

At any rate, I do not understand why you cannot see the wheels without witchcraft? Do you mean they are too black and blend too much with the wheel well?

1. I wish you lived closer, I'd make you a photography God in less than 2 months.

2. Yes, black wheels, especially flat/semi-gloss blend in too much with the tire and fender/quarter liner, especially on a light car. It would be a FIGHT to show those wheels correctly in good light (sunrise/sunset). Trust me on this one, I had a set of semi-gloss black wheels for the Lotus for a bit, and even though they were free, I couldn't wait to get rid of them. Of course, in real life it's a different story.
