Ok guys,

I made up my mind and will be going with this set of wheels, great price on them by the way. The question now is what type of finish,

1. Silver
2. Chrome
3. Polished
4. Black with polished lip

What would look the best on the E60 monaco blue. Any photoshop wizards feel free to give me a photoshop rendition

Thanks guys.

Black with polished lip. If you do a search on the different BMW boards, I've seen one with that combo (Interlagos), and it looked stunning.

Im going more towards a polished wheel, not sure if mirror polished or just silver and a plished lip, will see how the rendition looks like.

Silver with polished/machined lip like in the first picture that you posted above.

Whatever you do NO CHROME...............Please. If you must have chrome or mirror polished I think you should limit it to the lip of the wheel only (not the complete wheel).
