ok, correct me if im wrong, but i have the impression that chrome rims are a lot more popular in the US than in any other place, havent seen them much in europe or asia.

is it just my perception?

Have not seen any in Germany on an E60 and would never buy them for mine.
I like to look at it though...
But never on my car...

chrome only looks good on darker colors. guess you gotta have a taste for it. Iceman posted a pic of my car with chrome rims on the prior page.

It's funny I'm starting to see a lot of chrome wheels on BMW's again here in SoCal. My parents brought home a new 528E back in 1985 with chrome oem wheels and as for me...I was over the look by 1987.

But to each their own...if you like chrome go for it...I'm sure it'll look nice

I like polished wheels more then chrome actually.. But on some SUV's or Pick ups chrome looks awesome..

Picture of the polished wheels of my wifes little smart.

That's the first time that I have seen a photo of the folding mirrors on the E60, and, hey, is that a chrome rub strip on the side?
