What wheels look good on a BMW M5 (E39)? Finishes colour-by-colour

Fit gets you rolling — finish is what makes a BMW M5 (E39) look right. Every wheel below is confirmed to fit yours (5×120 PCD, 74.1mm bore, staggered); the call on colour is where we earn our keep — it leaves the factory in Avus Blue Metallic, Techno Violet Metallic, Alpine White III, Alpinweiss III, Petrol Mica and more — here’s what we’d run on each. Crumpsall Alloys supply and fit from our Manchester workshop, free fitting available.

Avus Blue Metallic M5?

On a BMW M5 (E39) in Avus Blue Metallic, we’d run silver — silver keeps a blue car clean and classic — never dates, lets the paint be the star; or gloss black — want it aggressive? gloss black hardens a blue car right up.

On a BMW M5 (E39) in Techno Violet Metallic, we’d run gloss black — gloss black is the safe-aggressive option — sharpens almost anything up; or silver — silver is the safe-classic option — never wrong, never dated.

Alpine White III, Alpinweiss III M5?

On a BMW M5 (E39) in Alpine White III, Alpinweiss III, we’d run gloss black — gloss black is the sharpest contrast there is — a white car on black always looks deliberate, never accidental; or bronze — bronze warms a white car right up and reads aggressive without having to shout about it.

Arctic Silver Metallic M5?
