I cam across these wheels and think they might look good on a E60. Has anyone ever seen these in person? Any opinions on them?

Not too fond of the MK logo cap.

BTW- they're around $2000 for 20" staggered

Where are you seeing the 20s? Their website does not show 20s.

My friend used to have them on his 850Ci. I loved them on that car.

I also wish the center wasn't so big...make the spokes longer

exactly. My 2 main concerns are:

1. It has a clean and simple look. But is it too simple to the point where it's bordering on cheap.

2. Is the lip not shiny enough? When the pics are taken in the blazing sun they look pretty reflective. Afraid of them looking almost matte.

Otherwise, for $1900, they seem like a decent alternative to the pricier 3-4k rims



BTW- do you guys think their M6 rims are reps? Seems like a really cheap price for OEMs, even though they are stated as OEMs.

They look 1985ish, old school. Not really feelin them.

Yes those M6 wheels on Ebay are most likely reps.

Yep your right JetBlack5OC they are M6 replicas.

For the rims, if you think it looks nice you do you.

You might want to drop your ride if you do get those rims.

Enkei makes the RT6 that look very similar to those. I've got them on the Sequoia (20") with a 3" lip.
