OP, quit this back and forth and man up to what you wanna do - make the car look amazing (your own words). Since you're in FL, roads are nice, get 20s - tires are the same money more or less and I have just the rims for you:

MEET YOUR NEW RIMS HERE


EDIT: when I said "I have..." I did not mean to imply any association with the seller, as none exists. Just that these are the best rims for the money IMHO

PS I'd powdercoat them the closest silver to white and make the inner barrels match the car color - with a little bit of brake dust (which you will DEFINITELY have), it will look... amazing

Our M5 tech kit is $800 for front/side/rear (dual outlet).

Cant knock them for their hustle haha.

VB3 CSL wheels are sick make sure Michael hooks you up with an aggressive offset, it'll look very nice.
CSL wheels in general look good on most BMWs.

Ha sorry but that's not the style I'm looking for but I would kill for a white e60! I can get the acs kit for less than the umnitza bumper alone... Does everyone think it's trashy or something?

This is unrelated but what tint % did you use around your car? Even windshield and rear. Thanks
tint question. I have 20% on the side windows, 20% on the rear, and nothing on the front.
