It would probably help if you posted a pic or even the type of wheels you'll be powdercoating. Some wheels look better in certain finishes/color than others.
By the end of the day, I think any one-piece dark colored wheel would look stellar on a white e60. My vote is for semigloss black.

Thanks guys for all the votes. My tint is not that dark, its just the shadow. Looks like semi-gloss is winning.
BTW, its not DPE either.
