ok...so I picked up a 545i about a month ago moving up from an e39. I have my acs type 4 rims that I had on the e39 and put them on the e60 for now. I want to get new rims and saw these on tire rack. I like the carbon inserts look because I just picked up the carbon fiber roof and lip spoiler and I think it would flow nicely. I was also thinking about the M6 rims as well. Oh..the color of my car is Black sapphire.

I was considering that but for now I was thinking of just painting the calipers red or black and dress them up a bit. Cleaning the rims were also a factor in getting these. I didn't want anything too intricate and be a pain in the a** to clean....
