I'm going hyperblack on the V3 CSL's I just ordered....against titanium silver...go for it, it will look bad ass. Those 710's are agressive looking and an awesome addition to any E60.

so do you think black wheels would look better? i agree ive always liked black on white, def sharp. im looking for a style that could be from bmw but enough of a difference that warrants the cost of the extras. not too "custom" but enough to know its unique.

I didn't go with the 10" in the rear to stay safe. I have an xi, so my offset requirements are already different...scared of rubbing! Oh, and I know what you're feeling man. I finally just said eff it and just ordered them because I was going INSANE...it was all I could think about. Anyway man, whatever decision you make will the be right one for your ride. You can't go wrong with VMR's for sure! Good luck to you man!

DO IT! That will look SO badass. There are a few AW M5 owners on M5Board that have gunmetal wheels on their cars and it looks so sick. If I had AW, there is no doubt I would do gunmetal. DO IT!!
