All,
I'm attempting to narrow down my search for wheels to put on my car. While I would really like some of the other more expensive rims (Radenergie R10, Asanti AF-130 or Vellano VSO) I can get these in Hyper Black for a substantial discount right now. I really like the deep lip on these too! Another upside to these IMO is that I haven't seen them on any other E60's that I can recall.

What does eveyone else think? Be honest, you won't hurt my feelings.

I like them if the price is right do it. Do they come staggered? I would do the black and not the hyper black.

I'd choose silver for contrast against the jetblack body. And that's just me

I like them. Hyper Black might be nice also.

They remind me of Radenergie R5s. Like ImSortOfABigDeal mentioned, IMHO BBK is a must with this style of wheel.

I did remember a while back that someone did post those wheels on their e60. Someone commented that it looked like the Infiniti G35 wheels. I saw those wheels in person and they do look good.
