I got a great deal on some 121s (19" 6 series ellipsoid sport wheels) and put 'em on my e60 last night. I will use them for my summer wheels and my ETA/BETA wheels in the winter. As soon as I get the chance, I'll snap a pic. I just wanted to share an upgrade!

I must say, that I was looking at a few 650's over the past few weeks, being in the market for a new car and all, and the first thing I said when I saw a used one at my dealership was, "The car's nice, but those wheels gotta go. I could always use them for my winter setup, though."
HOWEVER, I do like the way they look on the 5 series better than the 6. And I think they are better looking that those other rims you had on there, which I hated. BUT, if you got a real sweet deal and you like them...then we don't care....you still need to ditch them for some 166's, 167's or 172's!!

It just makes your car look like an older model, with rims that are out of production, to my knowledge. My $0.02.

They look okay, but not a huge fan of them. I think the spokes are too wide on them.

The 121s look better than I thought they would on your car~
As for coating them black, my opinion would be not. On modulars, having a black disc and bright polished or chromed rims look good, but on one piece wheels, I'm not so sure. Anyhow, you got a sweet deal!
