wheel question for the M5?

Would this style wheel be suitable for an E60 M5? I am only 23, but I really love the old school Euro vibe that I think these wheels have. They remind me of old MB Evo wheels, and I have always been attracted to simplicity in wheels. They are completely opposite from something like an HRE, but I just wanted your opinions for the car. I would essentially be powdercoating the wheels black with either a silver, black, or red lip. The car is Black Sapphire Metallic. Thanks for the opinions in advance guys!

I'd have to see it either photochopped or in person to make a judgement, sorry bad imagination.

However,

You mod the asthetics of a car to suit your personality, if these wheels say "this car is customised to be me" then get them.

Checkout the Breyton 21 inch's on Tirerack, those are the best wheels on an M5 or the RD sports 5 spoke's.

Here's a picture of my friend's old 850 with these wheels. They were 18s.

Renntech36, they only make those wheels up to 18".

Yeah man, got a Black 06! I am super stoked. I have to catch up with ya and hopefully you can give me some pointers!!!

As far as the wheels, I can get them in 20" for like $1600.00 total@ They are 20x9 front and 20x10.5 rear made for the M5. I just don't know. I found them on eBay. I just liked the simple design!

How about BBS LMs? Their design is rather simple and they're super light too!

Are you going to paint the rims black or leave it stock? Those are going to look good on the M5.

Those look killer on the 8 series, but I can't imagine they'd be perfect for the new m5.

Surely, there are a million other choices for a clean/simple e60 wheel?

I agree. Also I think you get what you pay for, especially when it comes to buying wheels. I've had a lot of poor experiences and only a few good ones.
