I have been on the internet for the past week looking for rims. I don't know if I should go with 19" or 20", and Chrome or Alloy. Can you reply with what type of rim would look really nice with this color. It is a 530i sport pkg. I narrowed my choices to these 4, but still open for suggestion

I don't know if I should go with 19" or 20"
20" if you're torn and you go 19" you will most likely soon want the 20"

Chrome or Alloy
No Chrome (especially in the larger sizes)

Those are awfully blingy for my taste, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One thing I've noticed, though, is that cars with a substantial presence don't look good with thin 5-spoked wheels - kind of like a muscular upper body on skinny legs. There's a nice E39 M5 for sale locally which has SSR GT3s, which are beautiful rims, but IMO don't match a 4000-lb sedan.

I vote for a 20" alloy wheel.

You won't regret it.

I can't remember off the top of my head what this looks like, but 20" and alloy sound good.
