Should I paint my wheels high gloss black?
I finally saw another F90 M5 this weekend in LA. It was Singapore grey like my car but with black interior and the black wheels. Should I paint my wheels high gloss black? Very undecided on this one!

NO! All black wheels are starting to look played out to me. I'm more interested what the wheels would look like if you polished the center faces where they are currently painted black to match the outer faces.

I would go the exact opposite direction. Eliminate the black in the center of your wheels and get the center to match with the rest of the wheel - e.g machined silver.

No. The contrast with silver looks much better. I only like black wheels for the M5 on colors like MBB and SO.

Those with black will say yes and those with the other wheels will say no. At the end of day it’s what make you happy. Did you buy the car for what the next guy think or what you like? Not being rude, but just keeping it real. I’m sure someone would want to trade or just buy a black pair and go back and forth and use one set as winter? Good luck.

I'm waiting on 19' F90 Comp allocation and will go with SG exterior; I'm going to opt for the comp wheels and possibly powder coat depending on how it looks in person. I think both options look good,it just boils down to personal preference.

IMO, yes and that's exactly how I ordered mine. It's all about what look you want to achieve. The black outs, scream aggressiveness, whereas the chrome is more of a "laxed" look.
