I'm looking for wheels and really wondering about the color.
So far i'm thinking about gun metal, black or the good old gray metal color.
If you've experiments with options like that on your space gray E60, i'll be happy to see some pics

Im looking into buying these... they look great and are at a great price. Since I already have 19's all I'd have to do is swap over the tires and sensors.

I've got gunmetal VMR 710's (staggered 19's) on my car and really like them. Here are a few photos:

Great price and I like that hyper black! Think those would look good on black sapphire?

Thanks Artic!

Here is exactly where I got them. IIRC, these were for the XI's so I needed spacers (they hooked me up for free!) Running 15mm on the front, 5mm on the rear.

Great guys to deal with. Just don't forget to order the TPMS sensors like I did. Duh.

Nice.... so the offset wont fit our 550's? What offset were they originally? Why didnt you just swap sensors from the OEM wheels to those?
