Question if you have seen the black wheels in person.......

If you have been lucky enough to have seen the new M3/4 in person I would appreciate your input on the black wheels as they seem to look different depending on lighting , camera flash etc. I have posted two pics below. Which pic resembles the wheels IRL and if you could give a brief description that would be great. The wheels on the show car look gloss and the outdoor shots seem matt. The show cars look two tone and the outdoor shots look all black... ...??????????

They look different because they are different wheels (color).

This is what production wheel look like outside.

I haven't seen many two tone black wheel on test cars. Most of them have all black wheels.

The show car wheels are all black. They have a polished finish on the outer surface that reflects light like crazy and makes them appear to be 2-toned under the car show lights.
