Here is an idea if you want to stand out in OC - keep the car completely stock.
Maybe its just me, but to spend a few thousand just to "stand out" makes no sense.
But to each their own I guess.

Not to stand out...just to personalize it...there is a difference
If you really like it, go for it; it's a personal choice

i dont think the e60 is sporty enough for gold rims.
gold rims were common on vintage race cars, so i think they look good on certain color 911's and ferraris, but not on a sedan...

modern:
again, personally i like gold wheels on exotics for that vintage race look, but not sure if it'd work on an e60. might look too "subaru-ish". but its your car so do it if you like it. don't let the haters stop you.

There are lots of other rims on the market that would look much better. Just my 2 cents.
