Looks like they've just used tint spray and something to mask off the inner circle.

seen it before on some american vw site, it's got hids and the outside painted up. looks pretty ghey.

i just liked the wheels, something a bit different. i'll be wanting to have 2 sets of 15s because the 14s i have won't clear the new brakes i'm getting.

Pretty sure there are a few sets knocking about on e38, you'll probably get an instant answer on there tbh!

Same as these too i think:

Never scene those wheels before

Sharpie's the scene-est person I know.  The guy runs his suspension so low it strips his wheelarch covers off on the move.  Have you seen his rear spoiler?  It's so 2009 it's barely believable.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Not scene his rear spoiler yet  :grin:

My rear wheel arch cover came off because my car was too low.... but I don't have a lowering kit on.... just too much crap in the boot  :lipsrsealed:

We had a set almost/very similar to those a 1990 Polo.  They where 13s though, made by Ronal IIRC
