My Ride: 2006 530i Alpine White , Premium Package, Build Date 07/05.
BBBB-BONE STOCK
Hello everyone!
I am looking several wheels (HRE, DPE, iForged, etc) and noticed no one had any pictures of e60's and white rims. Are they more trouble due to keeping them clean? I wanted to get everyone's opinions on the matter.
1. I want to get some type of 5 star rim, with a aluminium polished style or chrome lip. The center star would obviously be painted white.
This would be a lot easier to clean due to the design. So should I go with white (as I have not seen many cars with this and I don't like painted gloss black on white) or just stick with aluminum polished all the way around?
2. Are there any pictures of stock suspension on 20" x 9 wheels? I do not have the sport package, but was leaning towards eibach pro kits, but wanted to see how they look without it.
3. I thinking of just doing 20 x 9's on all fours so that rotation would be easier -- I like staggered, but this seems to not be cost effective for me. Good idea or bad?
Thanks for your opinions, I will post pictures when I get them.

i also wanted to do the white rims just liek you described, with the chrome lip and white center. i ended up getting the m166's which are also nice, but i would def go with white ones next time. Its unique and looks hot also.
