I have replaced the original photos with some that have been more Photoshopped. At least they are bigger--providing, hopefully, a bit more impact. I may work on them a bit more. My light was very diffused, and I am having some trouble getting what I want.

GOOD GRIEF. I just looked at my pics on my Dell laptop. They look too bright/washed out. I Photoshopped them, attached them, and "approved" them on our desktop. They look completely different on the desktop--darkish. What do they look like to you washed out or darkish? Well, OK, I just looked at them on my iBook travel computer. They look best on the iBook. Hummm!

Nice rims donv. They look fantastic on the E60. Take care not to hit a curb, because that lip is beautiful and we don't want you to damage it

Thanks much Shebs. Yes, I always am aware of curbs, but stuff happens. Darn. Stuff happened to the right rear of my Z06 twice. I am especially mindful of the right rear.

Could you post another shot of a full side photo? I thought I didn't like so many spokes on the E60, but that looks nice. Need to see a side shot to make up my mind.

Rims look nice, but they are going to be hell to clean. You probably will have to go in there with a toothbrush to get it all clean. Good luck!

Thanks much. So far so good. I was a tad worried about cleaning. I typically get the obvious dust off pretty much daily. That has been no problem so far--much easier/faster than I thought. I think the intensive clearning will occur when I periodically clean the places where the two pieces are screwed/bolted together. That process may be somewhat painful.

Thanks Hobart. I am not sure what sort of side shot would make things clearer. But, if you will tell me exactly what you want, then I'll do my best to get the shot. Incidentally, I think that the sides of the 5-series are so massive that more spokes of the relatively thin variety tend to be better than fewer. Otherwise there are too many wide-open areas.
