I need some lugs for my BBS RS-GT wheels for my 07 550i with spt pkg.
I would like some black ones, where can I buy them? Also I read somewhere
there is a conversion kit to make my lugs, bolt on instead? Anyone have any idea?
Also I was told I could use the TPMS from my stock wheels but need longer valve stems?
If so where can I get them besides the obvious tirerack?

Wheel bolts (black) are standard fitment so I am puzzled by your question.Have you fitted spacers which have studs?

If you plan on getting lugs might as well get spacers with your new wheels then you get new lugs and in blk like the way you want it. The spacer will give your car a better stance and look more aggressive.

Not worried about fitment more about look. Why the spacers?

To have your wheels sit flush with the fenders and adds a aggressive stance to the car and looks good.

No idea where to get black bolts or the conversion, my car came with a set of black bolts with locks. You could see if you can buy it from the OEM parts vendors (like Gary at Newport) or at www.getbmwparts.com.

As far as spacers go, IIRC the offsets on the BBS RS-GT in 20" E60 fitment are 8.5" front wheels with +15mm offset and 10" rear with +22 offset so they're stanced pretty well from the get go. I'd recommend going no lower than +19 on a 10" rear with 245/30/20 sized tires if you have your fenders rolled. The fronts should sit perfectly though.

You have some sick wheels, I'm jealous. Pics are a must!
