$200 per wheel, Just go ebay and bid on the set for $800. and you still have your original wheels for backup.

My Ride: 545i Orient Blue, Auburn Int. Sport Pkg, Premium Pkg, Satellite Radio, Logic 7 , Nav... European Delivery 3/21/05 Redelivery 6/1/05.
Thanks for all of the help... I really have always thought a little chrome can be very sharp. The E60 does not have much flash... so I thought a little chrome on the wheels would look really good. Especially with the dark paint. I was able to see some of the wheels at the dealership and the quality looked excellent. But still, the purist in me says "Don't do it!" So I guess I am conflicted as usual 
If I do take the plunge, I'll post some pics...

I think some wheels just don't "chrome" well.
Personally, I would get a polished rim with silver, grey or black center.

My view is do whatever you want to your car, but just make it unique. It may end up looking like ass, but at least it will be unique ass.
