gkinder951,

Honestly coming from someone with chrome wheels on his car I take that as a compliment.

Joe M,

All my friends are BMW guys, w/ 4 of my good friends you have 2 e36 M3s, 1 e30 M3, and 3 e30s 318s. But yes the e36 M3 is a fine choice.

ELLSSUU,

How about this,

Ian, I like the look, but I don't think the photo's are very flattering.. (I wonder what that bronze color would look like on a burgundy car...)

I like it, it compliments the dark colored cars allot better than silver or chrome... Its very subtle, its not like Ian painted them pink or something.

Why the hostility? Even if you don't like it, its nice that someone at least tried to see what they would look like.

Bryan,

If you happen to be in the area or I'm down in charlotte with the car we can do a test fitting just to see, I think it would good on the Garnet car, but then again I do like things a touch away from the norm.

Kelly,

People like voice opinions, and i'm ok with that, positive or negative, i'll make the changes to my car as I see fit.

Anything's better than chrome!

Actually I like them. What did you paint them with? I often think of painting my phonedials black but then back out, thinking someday I'll buy some 17" or 18" black Kinesis.

Superloaf,

If you go to the Kinesis website they have good pictures of many of the different finishes that they offer. Most look very very good, I think I'd order the k28s with gold centers with polished lips, but then again it would depend on what color car / type I was ordering them for.

I like it, but then again most people would say that my opinion doesn't matter.
