Need Some Opinions on Wheels (pics included)

I am trying to decide if I should get the BMW black ZCP (GTS M3) wheels for the 1. I keep going back and forth. I need some help deciding and also if anyone is good with photoshop if they could do a rendering that would be awesome.

The one with black wheels in that thread has very glossy black wheels and the photos are highly edited (saturation, contrast) its kind of hard to get a good idea from those.

I say do it! I too keep contemplating this idea but every time I see the pictures I drool. I love the way the BMW ones look...they look matte with a certain amount of gloss to them. I think I see this in my future as well lol

However, if you'd like to consider gunmetal too, instead of black:

Another alternative, again from BBS, forged, very light, more expensive than the CH-R, is the RGR:
