Niche Venice on M5 - Anyone knows Niche

I am choosing among many wheels and I have found 19" Niche Venice wheels as one of my first option. The reason being the center looks quite unique not the same will all those other makers. Please see the pic. Does anyone know if the Niche wheel is a good brand?

My car is interlagos blue and I am thinking of getting it the Niche wheels in black. I am thinking of adding a blue color on the edge of the rim. Like in the second picture I have attached. I want to ask if the red ring is part of the rubber wheel or painted on the rim?

Do you think a blue trim can be painted on the edge of the rim?

Or, do you think its better to paint the whole lip and edge of the rim in blue and the spokes and rivets in black?

an example of decent pin striping would be TG5's 528i from bimmerforums.

Wheels

I have decided to go for DPE wheels. I think I'm 99% sure I will order SL5 in platinum graphite which is the exact example in their website. I like to have a dark wheel but not black. I never had dark wheels. So now I want want one.

Pre, wat do you think mukhang ok rin ang S7 and S10. What do you think ang bagay sa Blue M5?

Parang ok din ang bronze ng s20 sa blue M5. But my friends say bagay lang yung bronze sa mga japanese car like Blue Subaru WRX STI and Blue Skyline GTR kapag bronze.

What's your take on this?

sa totoo lang tsong, let me show you a pic of a guy with an e39 in japan...





he brought this car from the states...anyway, from this car of "enken" made me realize that gold/bronze wheel are comebacks! remember the BBS of new jack city? lol...dude, i like em!!! its your car pre, you do whatever you want! your friends in manila are just so used to seeing these bronze wheels on these japanese cars kase thats how they were marketed to be. they just don't realize that the OG BBS' were of this format which were popularized by the EUROS!!! =)
