BBS RC090 (photoshop?)

Ok so im planning on getting some bbs wheels when i get back to the states... These are the BBS RC wheels, basically the Style 5's you see on E39 (540's i think). I was originally gonna be different and go with a full gold look (Lip and center gold chrome) but im not too sure if i wanna have to go thru the headaches keepin those hoes clean. So i came across another set, these are full black wheels with polished hardware. I planned on getting the hardware gold plated

here is a similar picture of the wheels



And here is my car (i have a gold window sticker now lol)




And a side shot (Photoshop anyone?)



I really cant seem to find anyone else who has run this setup on a mini... I really think this will look great on my car!

Whatcha think?

Keep searching, there's a few Style-5 owners out there:

They are not; typically it's a required fill-and-drill procedure to run the OEM BMW wheels.
