But I don't see why everyone on that forum is so obsessed with blacked out kidneys, grills, corners, etc. But if you think THESE attract too much attention, what about the HREs
Reminds me of Fern who had the 840R's for what, 2 weeks?

Wally, Chris is very impulsive. If you think you're interested in trading, make a decision now before he changes his mind!!!

If it were up to me I'd have like 8 sets of wheels on a rotating rack and pick out the wheels for the day like shoes.
But yes, for now I want some OEM ZCP's back on my ride since they look stock and common, nobody even gives the car a second look which is exactly the way I like it!

I get plenty of looks even with the stock ZCPs though, and my car is completely stock except for the drop. I used to have OZ Superleggera III's and those were too much. I was too paranoid to park the car anywhere. I'm back to OEM and keeping it that way.

...No, I have a PRIUS...
Some guy came up to me and ask me about my rims last week, he said he likes them and was thinking bout getting some rims for his 335i, when I told him its iForged and blah blah..., he has no idea what it is or other brands of rims, so it kinda depend what types of ppl are looking at your car, I think average ppl not going to know what HRE/Work/DPE is, to them if it looks good?, it looks good!.

The VCSL stuff is very subtle and most people think it's stock so I'm very happy with that part. Maybe I'm getting old or something...

I'm still getting HRE's but then I just want to swap back to ZCP's for now. I posted the M6 T/A's for sale on Craigslist. Gonna order ZCP's this week. Damn those wheels came stock on my car and now I'm paying for them due to my impulsive nature.

I would think that the average guy putting HP Evos from the local wheel joint on their car doesn't know what brands are out there. But I'm sure that everyone that has $3-5K to shell out on wheels would do their homework first.
Attention is good and bad, I always have people come up to me and it's flattering, but it used to be VERY annoying when I had the OZs and was known as "the girl with a hooked up BMW". Or people would ask "Is that your boyfriend's?". I would love a set of C20s or LM Competitions, but it's not for me. I almost ordered the same gunmetal Daytonas as yours for my G35 btw, it's funny how we change =)

I have something else in mind now but it's a secret. A "custom" setup... not HRE. I changed my mind again about what wheels I want for the 39184732198473th time.
