Each and other E60 has winter setups like that here in Sweden. It's probably a company car, and they don't want to pay 2500? for a 17-inch OEM setup.

Do you know that steel rims are forbidden on the E60 (not homologated) ?
Forbidden, and ... very ugly in this case, but cheap of course. I guess it would be less ugly without the plastic covers, if the rims are black.
