Hello fellow bmw owners, I'm in the market for buying rims and I'm just wondering what everyones opinions are.
I've got a white 530 and am planning on getting 20" rims... I'm still debating between chrome rims or silver/polished rims. If anyone knows anything about white cars and what kind of rims look good PLEASE let me know.
Any pictures would be awesome also.

Check out tirerack.com...part of their website lets you paste up wheels on your model. Also check out the Gallery section of this forum.

One more thing to note with going to 20s is to try getting wheels that are less than 30 lbs. If the wheels ge to heavy, you might slow your car down too much.

IMHO High polish rims looks nice on a white E60 Silver with polished lip looks nice too

Your car looks pretty good TTT. I don't normally care for chrome wheels, but yours looks good. Did you lower your car? What is your wheel/tire set-up?

By the way, welcome to the forum

I have to agree with Ferdie, I'm not into chromes either but those AF120s look great on your white car TTT.

Welcome to the Foum also. Please update your signature and profile to let us know where you're from and the specs of your car. That information would help other forum members answer any questions you may have.

Hi everyone I am also in the market for new 20" wheels. I am considering Hartge Classic 2. Does anyone have this wheel? If so, may I ask how much it is in USD and how much it weighs? Thanks in advance.
