...well refurbed in a new colour!

20 inch BBS reps which had started to get curbed so it was off to the paint shop for diamond cutting on the edges and antracite centres. hope you like!

Very nice, looks like it sits well. What's it lowered on?

Great colour of M5, but the wheels are just not my thing, especially the blue wheel nuts. A bit Only Way is Sussex for my liking.

Lovely car!
Nice to see the usual positivity on PH, I like the wheels and don't think they are chavy.

Lovely wheels topping a lovely looking motor. Ignore the 'norms' and their obsession with both conformity and perception.

I like the car... I like the wheels...I just don't think they work the best together.

Lovely car, hideous wheels, especially the nuts (sorry, but blue nuts!?) Whatever you're into though.

As others have said, love the car, love the wheels, just not together!

Not sure what it is, I think the E60 is too new for them, if that makes sense?

I'm a bin fan of keeping things stock but blue nuts aside I quite like the look. To me though they look even better in Silver

That does look better but still they belong to some old Golf.

I never liked the standard wheels on the e60 and the ones on mine are kerbed to death so will need sorting at some point.

I think I preferred yours before the repaint. Stunning looking car though

On another note why only once a week I'm in 507 before I move every time

I really don't like the OEM E60 M5 wheels, so most things are an improvement. In this case, I think the wheels looked much better when silver.
