wow this post turned around. a week ago it was all CSL now its all about the stock rims......i say contrast is the key. unless its all black then one color is good. all grey will get lost in the crowd, your doings mods to stand out, not blend.

I would go with BBS LM reps or some different
I've seen these reps on an E60 in 19's and they don't look good. For one, because they are 19's and how these wheels are set-up, the spokes get cut short, instead of extending to the circumference of the wheel. Therefore, they actually look smaller than 19's. Second, the finish on these wheels is terrible. The lips on these wheels are cheap. A member in NY had chips and scrapes within the first week. It was so bad, he complained to the seller and was able to swap them for something else. If you're going to do these wheels, do the real thing and in 20's. Although impossible to get, they are the BEST looking wheels I've ever seen on an E60. However, the replica's are garbage. At least the ones I saw.

I voted the 710's. Only because I plan on getting them for my 545I as well. And like most others here suggest, I'd go for gunmetal if available. Am I right by saying the majority of people prefer black rims only on black cars? Because I plan on getting black 710's.
