Any of the GFG options will nicely show off your car. But, for those prices, you could also get HRE, Work, and other makers of the wheels that look nice on the E60 as well. I think the GFG wheels that you show up there are true 3-piece and come in polished instead of chrome. Take a look on Ebay for under the 7 series to get an idea of what GFG wheels look like on an E60. There is a white E65 with 22" GFGs for sale on Ebay...absolutely gorgeous...imo.

I do not know which is which but the top right looks good, I would vote for that particular wheel and go with the 20"

Question, have you researched the Breytons?

i would go with the one with the black background, i dont know which is which , i tend to prefer more spokes, as not to make the car look too customized

Get the ones that are polished. The chrome is a bit too much blingage, unless of course your dress up your underbody with neon blue lights.

Too much bling for me - heavy too. For each 1 lb you add to each wheel you use about 1 hp. A wheel that weighs 10 lbs more saps 10 HP from your car.

Really?

I weigh 200 pounds...

Does that mean I soak up 200 of my 545's 325 horses by sitting my fat ass in it?
