My vote is for concave. Lips look cool on wheels that cost upwards of $4k, but that's about it IMO. OEM 166s and 167s look good because they are CONCAVE.

Now I just hope my rep BBS LM in 19's don't look too small compared to my 20's. Motorcitym3 may I ask what suspension setup are you running?
Oh wait, they look the best on the M3's....... ooops... my bad 
Love your car and the wheels Mel

Dang Motorcitym3 you have the same taste in wheels as I do. I also was looking into those 19's and same finish you have on currently Now I just hope my rep BBS LM in 19's don't look too small compared to my 20's.

Cwest, I have a feeling your not going to like the bbs's in 19's. Especially on a 5 series. I think with the step lip there going to look too small.. try them out.. oh and thank you
OP, I like the black wheels as well, but I would go with 20's as one member suggested too. Your in Cali, so potholes arent as much an issue as they are for some of us, and the 19's look smaller, IMO.. I have 20's on my car now and im in NY.... and it was a big huge decision for me to go with 20's, but my wheel in 19's just didnt have the same "wow" effect, ya know.. Id go with 20's definitly, as for what wheel both pic looks great to me..
good luck with whatever you choose
