Makes an ugly car even uglier IMO. Sorry 
I just don't understand what BMW where thinking when styling this car! The wheels do make it look better though
Also, is the rear wheel larger than the front?

They are 18's, staggered, same size as the original wheels. Front 225, rear 255.
The arch gap on the front looks bigger in the last pic. That's because my drive is slopped and a bit wonky.

To expand a bit, IMO the colour of the car is too dark to work properly with the black wheels. Black wheels "work" with yellow, orange, bright red, lime green, white etc cars where there is sufficient contrast with the paintwork.
They just look a little lost against the dark red of your car. They might be better in the flesh but they just aren't quite right somehow in those photos.
