I like the wheel design, but if i was you, i had choose they in silver. I don't like black wheels.. Black wheels look like steel wheels. :thumbsdown:

Welcome,
It's all individual taste, IMHO they don't compliment the car, but then again, painted rims are not for me.

My Ride: Jan 2006 E63 650i Sport . Options: Sport version (includes: sport-seats, sport-suspension, M-Sport steering wheel, Anthracite headliner, Shaddow Line), Saphire Black, Black Dakota Leather, Anthracite Maple Wood trim, Steptronic Auto, Xenons, NAV-Professional with Voice Control, TV, CD-Changer, Bluetooth, Logic7, Head-up Display, Comfort Access, Seat Heating front, Auto Dimming & Folding Mirrors, Extended Auto Air Conditioning, PDC. . Mods: Spacers 5mm front & 15mm rear . Wheels: 20" Alpina Softline (Classic) with Dunlop Sport Maxx non-RFT (255/35/20 & 285/30/20)

If you are going to put black rims on a silver 5er, I would also recommend putting the shaddow line on as well. Otherwise IMHO you will have this mean looking set of rims with a non-sport looking body trim colour combo -- could be a bit of a mis-match.
