Love this car but looking to switch things up to keep things fresh. 2nd AMG in a row, but toying with coming back into the BMW fold!

I had 540R's on my Porsche and I had the lip clear coated and they started to peel after about 1 1/2 years. Go Chrome, it's worth it! Easier to clean as well!!!!! Here's a picture of my wheels with a chromed lip.

540r

This is your business, and not mine, but do you really want the 20s? I know they are cool looking, but I have read where other BMW owners with them saying they are terrible stiff riding tires, and when you hit a pot hole, and they do not have much of a sidewall to cushion the blow, and most time they damage the wheel.
(I just change from 17 to 18's I cannot tell that much difference in the ride, they are about there same, but I did hit a small pot hole in the road, which did cause the tire not to withstand the bump and put a hole to the redial belts in the sidewall and I just had it replaced $$$$. :'(
I wish you the best with your new wheels!
