Nah.
I don't really like them even on the M6, but I'm sure it's something that'll grow on me.

It's amazing how much nicer wheels can look with a cross-drilled, slotted rotor with a 6-piston big brake kit sitting behind it.

Just out of curiosity, was this M5 photoshopped?
I didn't realize the window trim came in chrome.

M5 wheels belong on the E60.

M6 wheels belong on the M6.


I think the M6 wheels look awesome... but only on a M6. Something about how open they are vs. being a coupe. They just don't work on the E60. Don't make the car look balanced, or something. It's hard to explain.
