My 330i! hot and fresh out the kitchen - photoshop request

I am ordering a e90 330i on saturday with sports package, brushed aluminum, leather seats, 6mt! However, i am pressed between alpine white and jet black... I already have rims, they are high polish HRE 841r's in 20inch. I think they would look great on either color, but im not sure which one to go with! Any input or advice? maybe if possible some1 could do a photoshop for me? i would really appreciate it! thanks again guys

both are nice but if you don't want to be a slave to your car, i'd suggest AW. my last bimmer was jet black and i spent more time waxing and polishing out those swirl/scratch marks than actually driving the car. but jet black does have the pimp factor!

AW +1
AW looks clean and easy to take care.

I was debating the same thing until I realized something.

Bimmers are meant to be black.

I had a JB some time back - you need to do a lot or work to keep it clean. I have just bought a AW - really like the look of it and hoping it is not half as bad to clean as the JB.

If you want to be seen at night, AW. I have a JB and my friend has an AW. I almost traded mine in for an AW because I think it looks so nice when its clean (plus its easier to keep clean).

thats what im thinking, ive had my heart set on the jet black, but today my friend was like, hit up a white one it will be easier to take care of...

and yes i am planning on modding. I have 20'' HRE 841r's that are polished center and im planning on getting eyelids, euro clear reflecter front lights, shaving the 330i badge, 25% tint all over (cept windshield), oh i also already have a dvd alpine faceplate which is 7''.

so what do u guys think, with those mods i know that the black is going to look super sick. I love (forget his names) black 320i. It has the hre 542s in chrome 20''. its jet black with a full bodykit 20% tint, blacklines, shaved badge, iced out system and all that.

Honestly i like the black a little more, but I know im gonna be a slave and i think its kinda worth it. The alpine white would be sick, but honestly if i chose alpine white, i woulda gotten my HREs color matched. Now that would be sick! but as for now Im leaning toward the black

Thanks for the comments so far i appreciate the advice! please contine and maybe some pictures too if u can. If you guys also know a photoshop guy and i could see my rims on both colors, that would help me out a lot also

Do you have pics of the HRE's? How long did they take to get and from where? My local dealer is stating my HRE's will take 8-12 weeks to get.

yea i was talking abotu ericks car. i think im gonan go with black. I got my HRE's off ebay they were brand new. some dude bought them for his lambo gallardo and couldn't use them because on the gallardos they are all wheel drive and the rims wern't close enough to stock and it woulda fucked up the ride.

if you are buying big rims i really think Jet Black is the way to go. Alpine White looks nice stock, but if u r fixing ur car up Jet Black is the way to go as the rims "shine" more on a black car.
