My Ride: 04 525i, 04 Dinan M3
My old rims will be up for sale after I get the new ones in next week. I have 19's currently but wanted to fill the wheel gap up a bit with 20's since I don't want to drop it. I ordered a set of Dropstars DS01 rims. Haven't seen any on the e60 but they look good on the s-class.
Heres a factory pic of them.
Pictures do not do them justice, the black really contrasts nice. I haven't bought tires yet, any tire recommendations? They are 20x9.5 rear and 20x9 in front.

I usually keep my mouth shut when I have nothing nice to say but Phil, I consider you my friend and I gotta be honest....those wheels do not belong on the E60.

Yeah those would look much sharper on a mbz. But like you said they may look better in black.
As for tires falken 452s are great for the price. Pm john@eurorev or Nerweezy for the best pricing.

Serious? 
If you like them good for you, that's all that matters
But not my cup of tea....

like othes said, if you really like it, all it matters
but chrome rims is not my style, i will like dark color wheels on AW cars
if you go from 19 to 20 and your tire goes to lower profile, how can you fill up the wheels gap?
only if you keep the same profile on the tire then you will feel up half inch, for example, you go from tire 245/35/20 to 245/35/20, instead of recommanded 245/30/20, then you get half inch, i was thining about this too, do 245/40/19 on my car, but not sure yet
