You don't see many e60 with chrome...I don't mind it at all 
Most members here don't like any kind of bling on e60...I think some things like rims are not too bad.
OK guys...I said it

I am partial to aluminum and even high polished aluminum, but not chrome.
I think there are some rims that look good in chrome - but not BMW OEM rims.
But, whatever makes you feel good about your car.
