Hello! I'm planning to get rid of my chromed style 123 with 15mm spacers. Im contemplating replacing them with chromed style 0em 124 staggered and will used same 15mm spacers. Would this set up look good on a titanium grey sport suspension? Do you think wheel will be too exposed and not even since i'm not planning on adding spacers in the front wheels. Thanks

With regards to the choice of spacers, you will/should reach the same conclusions as this post about 128s with 12mm or 15mm spacers. Seeing as you have the 15mm already, you might as well just keep them rather than switching to 12mm.
I'm not into chrome rims, but if you are into that style that's all that counts
If you're open to suggestions, and seeing as I mentioned the rims above, I think the 128s look great on titanium E60s.

OT:
You seem to have an excessive amount of negative camber on that offside rear wheel in the pic btw ?? probably as a result of increasing the rear track, I suggest you get your alignment done ASAP else your tyres will be shot in no time, I speak from experience !
If you compare this shot of my old E46 you will see it looks quite comparable in terms of camber, my tyres were destroyed in less than 5k !

Your BMW main dealer should be the first port of call IMHO, my local main dealer has full alignment kit and mechanics who know how to use it, and thats the key, most of these tyre places might have the equipment but lack the know how or caring on how to actually do the job properly, there is of course the exception to the rule, its just finding the right people which is hard I guess.
