Would you put these black rims on an alpine white E60? Here's a shot of the rims that I'm thinking about buying. Price is fair and they look OK. I was also thinking of leaving the face black and powder coating the lips alpine white. I've seen other E60s that looked good with black faces and white lips. Let me know what you think. I'm sure either way I go would be better than the stock 17s or chrome spinnas! BTW ...The front is 20x9 (3" lip) and rear is 20x10 (4.5" lip). Would the fronts rub? 9" seems wide.

i like 'em the way they are. AW tends to get a bit "dull" and this would set it off nicely - think contrast! is the face & lip the same black chrome look?
as Frank stated, 20x9's would fit the front w/o rubbing with the perfect offset.

Doesn't work for me , a polished lip might lighten up the look. white lip would look strange IMHO
