I have a gray BMW e60 and looking for some rims, just want opinions on some types of rims. I really like the black m5 rims. Opinions please?

I suggest OE BMW wheels that were originally available for the E60. IMHO, all aftermarket wheels look terrible on any BMW. Hey, you asked for oppinions.

agree w/ the 166's, agree to disagree with blacking out, especially if ur car is black. Black on black is the ish imo

Don't get OEM wheels. Don't get me wrong a couple are good looking but majority don't. If these are for summer go with 19's. For all season I'd get 18's . The price of oem heavy wheels you can buy a frogged 2 piece (light weight) wheels. On top of the light weight benefit you can go wider than oem. 9 front 10.5 rear compared to oem 8.5 front 9.5 staggered set ups. This all means you'll be able to run wider tires for comfort and looks. Take a look at the beyern Bavaria a brand new forged 2 piece wheels. I just bought a set. Come in silver and black. Also a good wheel for the price are VMR's.
