your gonna get alot of hate on chrome here.. looks kinda good on some other cars, but not alot of fans of it here. im persoannly not a fan of chrome either, but i have seen those in person on another e60 and as it didnt look bad------its just not for me, but whatever floats your boat 
its all about making yourself happy and if its chrome, then so be it!
and isnt that price a little high?? there not even oem i think. it says "style"

I would agree that Chrome looks tacky on these style rims, and that this is a little steep in price!
Go with what you feel, i have chrome 20's on my work truck and i love em, but i would never do my 166's chrome.. Just Black Gloss!!!(soon to come)

But I'm not saying I like the chrome, I just posted to see what you guys think I was considering the black MRR wheels rather than the chrome
