I agree the R10s are getting overdone but I think that feeling is exaggerated on forums where you can read about alot of people having the same wheels. The wheels still look awesome and on the streets, chances are you won't be running into other E60s with them.
WAIT, Freed0m has R10s and I see the guy all the time!
HAHAHA
I have to admit I've been window shopping other wheels just to see what else I would get IF I was to replace the R10s. The Momo and the Modulare M6 are two of my favorites right now.
With regards to the BBS LMs, I heard that they are being discontinued. Have you heard that Ken? Do you know any place that has them in stock?

I'm sure you could give your boy darwin a call at sonic to see if they're available. I got those pics from Lucent Motors which is a high end shop in Los Angeles. Simon over there is a stand up guy so you might consider giving him a call.
Oh and you and Joe should switch wheels for like a week or two just for fun. Seriously....

From what I know, the LMs recently came out with a 20" wheel and fitment for the e60. I haven't been following up on any of the latest news. If you've read that they've been discontinued on m5board or whatever, then it's probably true.

Not sure if those BBS CKs are all that light, but they should be durable. Oh and I know I recommended the LMs, but they're not that light either....not that they're heavy though.
If you want a nice quality wheel, but don't with to spend that much, I'd go with the 167s. They're not exactly cheap, but cost less than the other options mentioned.

My Ride: 2008 550i ZSP with Style 167 wheels

The car is calypsobimmer's Space Gray 535i with M-aero kit installed. Looks great to me, and it convinced me to get 167's for my car. I'll be swapping the 172's that come with my 550 ZSP at delivery for 167's. The 172's will then be up for sale. I just received the 167's, and wow, what a beautiful, light wheel!
As you can see in the picture, they have a gray finish on the sides of the silver spokes and on the wheel, and will look great on gray cars (like mine!).
