I just got some new shoes but they are being powder coated flat 'murder' black (w/polished lip and bolts). They should be mounted, balanced, and installed in 2 weeks. What do you think? They should look better once they're murdered out since the car is Black Saphire Metalic, Black Dakota Leather, Bamboo Anthracite wood trim and of course black tint.

Really unattractive wheel IMHO. Just one data point.

Thanks for your opinion. I'll post pics when I get them installed...maybe you'll have a different opinion then. i've notice that people in the midwest have not developed a fondness for west coast styles yet.

im sure in a few years they'll catch up eventually

how much do those weigh?

I'm kinda into function (performance) over fashion (bling).

that is exactly why i asked how much they weigh.

they look and weigh almost exactly like the m166.

its definitely a nice rim. I can totally see it murdered with the polished lip!

but in all honesty, and I am from Northeast, so that whole cali thing aint getn' here this century probably, but dude, there are better looking wheels out there for this car. But as they say, to each his own. Plus, I'm sure these will look hot on this specific car with the whole tripple-black thang goin on, so congrats and post some pics when you do mount them - prove us all wrong and right respectively LOL

I agree ;)

i thank everyone for their opinions. ill post pics when i get the shoes on.
These wheels are the shiet, no matter what people say! I guess I didn't want to put on the same old mesh wheels everyone has...

Quick question,whats an 08 E60..TT?I don't know what the TT means.As for people catching up with the trend,give us about 100 years up here...lol.Can't wait to see some pics when you have them mounted,I'll be looking for new rims next year for my M5.

I assumed the TT stood for "twin turbo," as in the engine in the new 535i.

Big wheels, big sig ... perhaps making up for some other inadequacies? :flamethro

What size and kind of tires are you going to be using?

Yeah, man, where are those pics? can't wait to see them too )))

ME TOO MANG... The wheels got delayed a few weeks. The pics should be up by may 10th.

So when are you gonna pick them up?

What size and kind of tires are you going to be using?

Yeah my checking account has got a major case of shrinkage!:lol
The new whip, wheels, $20K engagement ring, and not to mention a $90K wedding has put a major strain on my spending cash.

I thought murdered was the opposite of bling? Anyway, once those babies are on the E60, dbae23 is gonna have a whip you can't take your eyes off of.

Thanks mang. I can't wait either. I'll post some pics as soon as i get the wheels.

any new news with the tires, still interested bro!

Those look TERRIBLE. Total Pimp-mobile. BUy a Chrysler 300 and get it over with. Just my opinion!

OEM rims look better.

Another data point.

HAHAHAh.....

Are you going to lower the car?

I've got sport suspension so i don't think so. It might be a possibility later on down the line, but I dont want to mess with anything else on the vehicle.

Are your wheels on yet? I wanna see pic :P
