Great price but not sure about the offset will work for your car. I'm not too crazy about the bulky spoke design.

IMHO looks too much like a AMG wheel.

Which is ok if that is what you want, it is your car.

I personally don't like the way 5 spoke-star wheels look on the E60. It just doesn't look that good. If you had some cross drilled rotors, and some nice custom piston calipers then maybe...

If you're going to do it anyway, I would suggest this rim over the one you're showing us: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

It's similar to the Beyern Rapp as seen here: http://www.beyernwheels.com/BMW_wheels_beyern_rapp.php

See how they look on your car here: http://www.beyernwheels.com/virtual_garage.php

Just remember, you get what you pay for. If you pay cheap, you get cheap. Just save up a little bit more and help your self avoid those hideous ASA's.
