Thoughts on new rims for my 540i

Hey Guys my name is Sean, and i have a 1997 BMW 540i that i'd like to get some rims for. This is what i had on the car before, but those rims were bent and i gave them to a friend. Now i have these on the car with winter tires, they are also chipped and not in the best condition. I have a couple rims in mind for the car preferably deep dish, and this is one of them. I would really apreciate some feedback and if you guys know of anyone selling some nice deep dish rims 18" or 19" please let me know.

I like the alpina look rims.

They fit the lines of the car very nicely

I recently saw a 335i with 19" BBS LMs,not sure if they were replicas or not,but they would definitely look hot on your e39.

Style 5's are what was on the car before, no?, i love them. They suit e28's better though imo. mmmm, staggered alpina's if you can afford it.
