I will go for white liner on black rims FTW!!

Thank you soo much for this beautiful photoshop hint!!

My decision on my next mods:

- black roof wrap or paint(what should I do??)
- black kidney grills
- black rims(see above)
- debadging!!(it's a whore to keep clean between the numbers)
- carbon fibre tips on front

Hopefully I will finish just in time before the season begins..

greetings,ivano

I also like them, but would get them in 20" if possible.

20" is possible, but only 9x20" and 10,5x20", this would be to big for me,as I have the M-sport suspension..

My Ride: Jan 2006 E63 650i Sport . Options: Sport version (includes: sport-seats, sport-suspension, M-Sport steering wheel, Anthracite headliner, Shaddow Line), Saphire Black, Black Dakota Leather, Anthracite Maple Wood trim, Steptronic Auto, Xenons, NAV-Professional with Voice Control, TV, CD-Changer, Bluetooth, Logic7, Head-up Display, Comfort Access, Seat Heating front, Auto Dimming & Folding Mirrors, Extended Auto Air Conditioning, PDC. . Mods: Spacers 5mm front & 15mm rear . Wheels: 20" Alpina Softline (Classic) with Dunlop Sport Maxx non-RFT (255/35/20 & 285/30/20)

For some reason I assumed you would get them as 20s -- isn't that the whole point of not going for OEM rims like the M167s?!

There are plenty of members here with 20s on their M-Sport E61s and as you will be buying them new, you can ensure you get the right tyres on there from the start. If you like the wide look of the photo-shopped car, you'll need 20s.

I fully agree, but as you probably know, here in Germany we have these Mo'fo`s called TUV.
They check if a designated rim can be mounted on a car.You need plenty of papers and tests to prove them,that this rim can be used with this specific car.
In Order to fit this rim I need to rework the wheel arch, if not, they will not inregister these rims.

I am a little unsure about it...

They look nice, but me personally I would go for the 20s. Im feeling that white pinstripe especially if you are going to do your roof and your grills. Black and white theme wuld go perfect.
