Thinking of going with stock looking wheels (20's) does anyone know if these rims will work or has anyone tried it out yet? If they work than I will probably sell my Iforged aeros, just looking for a differant look on the car.

These are X5 wheels, so to start with, the offset will be different, especially on the front. Not sure if it is worth correcting, as it would be a lot of spacing needed.
Fronts are 9.5x20 ET45, which will most certainly catch your strut badly. You'd probably need spacers of around 25mm to have them sit properly. And 9.5 on the front is wide, but should about work.
Rears are 10.5x20 ET30 and to sit right would also require a spacer.
X5 also uses M14x1.5 wheel bolts, while the E60 uses M12x1.5

I think they can be adapted to fit, but if it's worth doing it, is the other question.
