The wheels are ADV1 ADV05 20x9 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear. I've got 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 tires on them right now which work well. I'll have to get back to you on the offset as I'm not sure. The wheels were custom made for my M5 so I don't know. But it's extra aggressive right now in the rear (offset/camber) because I had to add spacers to provide enough clearance in the back for the Brembos (unfortunately I asked for a very deep lip in the rear and while doing so forgot to counter it with a request to provide enough clearance for a BBK). I'm getting some work done to get everything back to where it should be and hopefully it'll be taken care of in the next week or so.
The ADVs are pretty expensive. Lot of places carry ADV but I would recommend Sonic Motorsports (Mountain View, California) or Wheel Executives (Florida). I purchased mine from Wheel Executives and Sonic does all the work on my car.
Yeah, that's been the real question for me. Always wanted some but at the same time wanted to control how much I used on my car. These are the first wheels I've ever purchased that had any chrome on them. In this case I went with a brush center and only put chrome on the lip to accentuate the wheels. I've been contemplating whether to black out the kidney grills and side gills as well as using matte black vinyl wrap to cover the chrome "eye-liner" on the front head lights (kind of like the old eye lid look on the E36 3series that people did) but I've left it for now as the little bits of chrome match the chrome lip on the wheels.
