i dont like how the description says its a "roll form chrome outer lip" that sounds like a press on lip which if damage can not be replaced. Thats the problem i had with the Vertini wheels.

Actual lip size will depend on fitment and I'm pretty sure you're not going to get something like that picture for your car. That looks like a 6" lip and the most aggressive I've seen on an E60 is probably 5" with most wheels ranging from 3.5-4" in the rears and about 2.5-3" for the fronts (on a staggered set up).
As for the style, I've seen better but up to you.

Belongs on a new Dodge Challenger
I happen to love American muscle cars. I'd love a Mustang GT 500 as a second car or a Challenger SRT8. The kind of over the top wheels the OP linked to were made for huge, powerful American muscle car. They would look like crap on an E60.
