they look really nice in black and silver lip like the ones in ebay not the picture you posted

i think it should match with your silver gray
You think so? I figured the black would look a little funny on a silver grey car. I thought the silver that I posted matches the silver grey of my car really well.

Ok, so I just heard back on what the actual weight is, and it's a little more than I had originally expected. The guy that I had seen mention the weight before was definitely off. The 20's are about 30lbs and the 19's are 27-28lbs. Also, you can only get the 19's in a 8.5" and 9.5" width. Does anyone know how much the stock 17" 138 rims weigh?

I see. They are too heavy for me, but not super heavy--if you are not a straight-line performance fanatic--like me. The stock 18's are about 32-ish. Don't know about the 17's.

They sound good to me in the hyper silver. I'll be interested in the weight. The silver should go really well with silver gray. Check out the Eye Candy link referenced in my sig to see the color match.

Thanks Znod. I like straight-line performance, but lets be honest, who am I really gunna burn in a stock 530i? Or at least who would I burn that's even worth burning? As for the latest and greatest news about the rims, Car Nutz in Washington and D2-AUTOSPORT in Connecticut can get you a set of 20 x 8.5 fronts and 20 x 10 rears for $1300. So after you put tires on, you're probably looking at a little over $2000.

Edit: Car Nutz, with everything, we're talking wheels on the car and me driving away, grand total: $2,508.92. I decided I'm gunna do it. I'll post pictures when I finally get them on.

Guys, what do you think about 20" MRR GT wheels in hyper silver with a machined lip for a Silver Grey Metallic 530i? Any thoughts are appreciated. Also, anyone that has pictures of these on an E60 would be appreciated as well. Thanks.

I think it looks nice...quite similar to Breyton Spirits, except the spokes are curved inwards

The wheel are very nice, but cleaning BMW brake dust is a pain in the tail. Need to buy Axiss(?) pad to produce less dust.
