Wheels Hideous....
Need some front and rear picts, the car other than the wheels looks good.

Sorry, an AW E61 with AW wheels... No.
Maybe I would feel different if there were better pics that didn't chop parts of the car off. Or maybe that wouldn't make a difference.
Anyway, it is your E61, so enjoy it!

I do need a m5 front bumper....I know that....and I was thinking about doin something crazy to the wheels...maybe all white everything including the lip and then painting the windows black....and the Motorsport engrave inside black. I could chrome them out too....When I purchased the wheels the seller said they need a high offset to work on the xi...He searched all over the country and found the last pair(I was told this company went out of business last year)and they happen to fit the car.....Its absolutely NO Rubbing and I think the car rides so much smoother with the MK's on rather than the stocks.....Sorry for the crappy pics.....more clean pics soon..... Thanks for looking.... I just wanted opinions from real BMW ppl......

Uh...Yeah...the wheels in my and apparently several others that have posted opinions , not right for the car. I don't want to say UGLY , just they don't do it for most. Triple white is for Administrative assistants VW cabriolet Bugs...not E61 wagons.
One thing I really don't like is when newer member post a pict of their car then ask for advice and criticisms of the pict...then if they don't hear what they want they get all defensive....
If you ask for criticism/advice be willing to accept both the good and the bad....

I like the shape of the rims a lot. They look sporty and dynamic without being too fussy. Remind me a bit of the Dinan wheels.
For me personally, they would be perfect if they were 19', the lip was a bit smaller and stuck out less, and regarding the colour: I have nothing against white, or white-on-white or whatever. I just like it more when the rims' coulour is a bit closer to stock, in which I guess I'm in a 0.1% minority here. I guess titanium grey or maybe gunmetal (but not darker) would be very clean and classy.
In any way, I think its great that we have these pics here, as they show something different and orginal, without being another ENVY. We need such pics in order for everyone to decide for himself what works well and what not.

I personally think that a set of sideskirts and at least a front lip are a necessity. And suspension, of course, could use some droppage.
