My Grandfather once told me, "You can't polish a turd." That would especially apply to your selection.
Sorry.
:thumbsdown:
Sorry.

I would have liked your grand dad. Dont go with the chrome on an E60 as realistically this really is a case of fur coat and no knickers!

I like the first set.
Don't listen to these guys. If you like chrome and that's "how you roll" then do it.

He did ask the folks in e60.net for advice. And, the outcome looks pretty brutal.

I laughed out loud reading some of the comments here. 
Here's my 2 cents although it looks like he's already got about a buck now with all the replies.
I actually think there are some rims that look good in chrome. Some of the mesh ones like the Agio on iceman316's white E60. But DUUUUDE...all those three rims are FUGLY!!! The only thing they belong on are Yukons and Suburbans and even then they're still FUUUGLYYYY!!
In the end, do what you like. You'll still be a part of our E60 family.
