Breyton makes good stuff no doubt. I like the CSL reps because well they are CSL reps lol. They are much cheaper too, which would allow him to throw some serious cash where it matters the most, on the tires.

I like the hyperblack look more than the gunmetal but different tastes for different peeps
They only made the silver finish when I got these wheels, years ago. If I could have done it over, I would do Gunmetal or HyperBlack for sure. Here's another picture of my old car, taken from an angle. Again though, I would do the Breyton's in 20's. They just fit the car better. The E60 has a large wheel well (when I compare it to my old E39). 20's round out the well, really nicely.

I don't know guys, these wheels are all nice but I don't really like all this mesh. I want a 5 spoke design.

5 spoke is ghetto. Go with the classic, aggressive look. You'll turn more heads than the 5 spoke design.

lol its okay.

We all know how much you loved those CSL reps. CSL reps are the way to go imho if you want to stay in a limited budget but get a good looking wheel. Those breytons are pretty hot though.

I think the Miro M6 reps are very good looking. You don't think they look like like the oem ones?

I know where you are coming from but you will find that these types of wheels grow on you the more you get into bmw tunning. 5 spoke designs are pretty cool but to get a really good looking well built five spoke design you will have to spend more than 2k for your wheels.

and as C said, they do tend to have some ghetto flare to them sometimes.

Those too! Love those wheels. Check out member Amitmillhonda's 550. He has those wheels on his car. They look great and for $900 shipped, you can't beat it. OK, so maybe that spoke design is an exception to the rule.
