agreed. M6 wheels look great.

OP - if you are interested, we have a good price on these wheels - from $575 onward.

thanks for every1 voting. but I just wanna say i have got the m6 wheels on my e60 already but i was kind of thinking about getting the m5 as well but i will coat it black, or titaniam grey? im not sure what colour im looking for but definitely not the OEM colour tho.

anyone knows how much would the coating cost?

the reason i started to think that the m6 doesnt look as good as the m6's is because the m6 looks a bit too sporty on the 5er as its a saloon indeed.....but it still looks great anyway, i have my m6 wheels with my jet black e60. which it looks quite good IMO.

Well, if you want to sell your M6 wheels, let me know. Are they OEM, or reps?

GL with your decision...
do you know where i could do that from (rotor upgrade) thanks

I would go with the m5 wheels. I have heard that the replica wheels have a lot of problems and I would stay away from that. If the m5 wheels are black they may just have powder coated them that way. We can get you a set of new OEM m5 wheels, but it's expensive

did you get them installed yet? Be sure to keep us posted at let us know how you like the reps. Some forums members have had problems with vibrations, and finding the correct hubcentric rings to eliminae the vibrating. Though, I must say that M6 wheels looks nice.

Powdercoating whould run you anywhere from 80-150 per wheel.

I think the m6 wheel is much nicer and has a far more aggressive look.
