Opinions on Rays Homura wheels - gray on gray

New Rays Homura wheels manufactured in Japan - they appear to be a quality wheel, the Homura is cast. These are not exactly cheap, but less than a forged wheel. Anyone with first hand experience ?

Matt Gunmetal on 3 series Space Grey shown below.

What do you think???

too much gray

or just right

I am NOT a fan of big wheels with only a teeny bit of rubber, but I have to say these wheels look pretty good on that car. I have that same color. I would want more rubber, maybe 18's ... 245/50/18 with that wheel and it would look better to me. HOWEVER... I know if am an old fuddy dud and way outnumbered on the thin rubber rails.

F10? Go (at least) 20"
Ride quality is not an issue, especially if you have AD.

OP: nice rims, like 'em!

Silver never goes out of style, thats the plus, but its done all the time.

I am trying to keep this car gray w/black trim and eliminate all chrome as much as possible. I love the clean look of 20" ferric grey wheels on Space Gray - just looking for something a little different.
