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?

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
