it's not chrome on steel finish... it's a alloy rims with chrome satin effect...

can be used.. it's either original or replica... your choice..

First part u got it right, 2nd part I dunno what u talking about.

That's not chrome for sure and try to avoid chrome rims if u ask me because the chrome layer very easy to chip off.

The one shown is actually a polished alloy rim with metal finishing coated with clear coat. Meaning all our OEM silver rims can be sent for polishing to achieve the same result. No need to replace rim.

Well, I've seen this E60 530i in Platinum Bronze Metallic with the exact chrome rims you shown there. It really does match the car well but in your case, I recommend you to stay with the Silver rims

Easy to say, it pretty much depends on the colour of your car mate.

generally, ppl say no to chrome rims is because:
1. if u are abt performance, the chrome rims are heavier because of the metalic compounds
2. if u scratch them or they chip off, good luck in fixing it coz its not cheap to rechrome the,
3. if these are taiwan rims, the chrome may peel off.

personally, i love big staggered chrome rims.

these are the cons of it. but dont let that put u down. you could on the other hand, look for polished rims, its not as bling as chrome, but its nice too
