Need opinions on these Verde Kaos wheels

Okay, let me preface this with... I'm only considering these because I'm gonna be getting wholesale prices through a friend. Ideally, I want 19" Breyton Spirits in black, but I'm not looking to spend too much on wheels.

Another downside is that the wheels only come in 18 or 20, which I'd ideally want 19's.

I won't give exact pricing, but let's just say I'd be out the door with wheels AND tires for under $900 for 18s, and under $1100 for 20s. If I went with the Breyton's that I want, I'd be shelling out over $3k.

So, I need help deciding:
1) Should I get these, considering the low price?
2) If so, 18's or 20's.
3) The hyper dark silver... or the black w/ machined lip?

P.s. I have a black sapphire e90.

Thanks guys!

if they're 1k or less then yes, if they're over a K then hell no. Just save up and get a set of BBS's. Or really save up and get a set of DPE, iForged, HRE, Hamann, or something like that. I dunno yea i guess they're not bad but since you have an E90 i'd get 19's, but your saying they only come in 18 and 20? That sucks because 18 is kinda small and 20 on an E90 is too much, especially if they're not custom made, offsets correct, width, and all that stuff....they're deff. better then tsw's and petrols and stuff

if u have to choose between 18 or 20, then 20 is the winner.... black rims for killer look, silver rims for elegant/classy look.... depends on your taste. I like the rims.

that's what i was thinking about the colors....if it were me i go with the silver just because with my bimmer i want to keep it still looking classy......but then i'd go with 18s as well....in your case i vote you choose the 20s since obviously your looking to go bigger

Thanks to everyone who replied. I think black got more votes, and that was what I was leaning toward in the first place. However, I'm still torn between the size. Can someone comment on the difference in performance (looks aside)?
