Hi there,
Absolutely not a fan of blingy wheels, as most 60ers. The key idea here is the E60 is a modern and hi tech vehicle with a long standing European sporting history. A BMW is iconic. And not a car for owner to transform into something completely different. Super bling places the E60 in with much lesser cars.
That said, freedom is freedom and you should choose what you like. I can?t and won?t help with the two choices. You should look at other OEM and non-OEM choices, which can add a certain amount of bling without voiding the BMW identity. Thats my advice. Chrome can work, just be careful.
Of course I do believe that there is bad taste and good taste, and that taste evolves as one experiences more things. Otherwise, we all would be still drinking fruit punch from sippy cups and eating burgers with Heinz Ketchup only.

Not a big fan of any of the rims, either, but, more importantly, if you are still around, please explain your name...

There are some others (simpler) chrome wheels that they look way better for an E60, but again, if I had to choose between those three, I think that the first one is looking better than the others.

Oh boy...as soon as I saw the pictures, I knew you were going to be in trouble here 
Bling is definitely not e60.net approved. Good luck with your choice and welcome Telep...
