The problem is I want to sell the car (if I have to) to it's new owner with complete original content. On the other hand, the OEM wheels cannot sell at a reasonable price in most cases...

Perhaps it's because E60 has a even more futuristic look then the latest F10.

My experience:
pedestrian more often to look at 996
other drivers more often to look at my E60, mostly stare at the wheels and brembos. I believe they are trying to determine if it's a plastic cover or it's the real thing.

I used to have a 997 GT3-RS MK 1 3.6, people always look at it, and found big disappointment when seeing the driver, really FATASS....

But usually a fatass + 996 = a miniskirt 20+ gal sitting next!
