I like them. What size are they? What do they weigh? And, what are their list and purchase prices?

Edit: Their weight is about 20 lbs. (excellent for 19's), but they are way too expensive given extant alternatives.

I remember reading that Dinan wheels are pretty well made. I like them but a part of me thinks they're over simplified. I guess that's a good thing to some...I prefer something a bit more complex with more details but to each his own.

If you like these Dinan wheels, here's another similar alternative: http://superbuytires.com/wheels/model/Axis/MOD/

I like those. They look sporty and have a nice lip (rear wheels should have a deeper lip), however, I like mine in three-piece.

Haven't seem them on an e60, but I think they look good on other BMWs. They are light wheels, but they come at a rather steep price.

Those wheels are on an e63.
Do you have a picture with a view of the whole car?

Looks great on that black e60. Very lightweight too at just 20 lbs per wheel.
