Default Newly Installed Rims on my 5 Series. Thoughts?

Just bought these OEM 20 inch staggered m5 style rims and had the calibers and hubs(i think they are called) painted. I think it looks mean personally and love the color scheme. I guess a M Style bumper is next. If anyone has done this before, how much was installation/paint roughly?

Also, had to use hubcentric spacers on the front and there is no vibration and the ride is very smooth.

Looks nice. I would try a gunmetal gray finish on the wheels if you can which would look pretty sick.

looks good. I've never been a fan of brightly-colored calipers but that's just my personal opinion. the wheels and fender gaps look nice.

nice wheels. I vote cross-drilled rotors to go with them.

As far as the bumper, you can do a search and contact Umnitza on here about that. It's their specialty.

Awesome, looks great. I agree with a few statements... gunmetal might be a bit nicer.. and cross drilled rotors for the sexy! The gap looks great, what did you lower it with?

Great setup mate! Love it!

Whats the tire size and do they rub?
I am still thinking - shall I go for 19s or 20s, afraid because of the rub :\

tire size is a 255 front and 285 back with absolutely no rubbing whatsoever. Spacers were used on front wheels
