+1 Exactly, if your goal is to be different, then wait for a nice set of gold rims that you can pick up. If you just want rims, the black DO look sick, plenty of nice black options around. Me? I like different, even if it means I have to wait a bit.

Ya black has already been done and it looks good paint your lips white or pinstripe your wheel white then it would look custom like this [attachment=108287:white6.jpg]
wow...
Hmmmmmm........
Those rims are absolutely hideous. This lip is way to big, the rims are to big, and that white lip is gross.
IMHO a 6series with a CSL trunk and other tasteful performance styling mods should NOT be DUBBED out with rims like that.
:thumbsdown:

please OP, dont make your rims look anything like that.

I promise on my life, my beautiful fiance's life, and my 1.5 year old dogs life, (and EVERYONE's life on this forum) I won't do that to my car!!!! I can't find ANY other gold options I like that are relatively inexpensive. Anyone know of any obvious ones? Those LM-R reps make the rim look.. ... small Not sure I'm feeling it.

Well, keep in mind the offsets for the 3 series are way different, your 5 will have a much deeper lip and will probably look better than that 3 does. There are a few members here that have BBS LM's - look at their cars and you will see the LM's look MUCH better on the 5.
