Yes they are, and I'm loving 'em. These were just quick photos which do not do them justice. Better photos en route after all the updates are done.
IMO, they are much nicer than the Forgestars which they are replacing. The machining of the hub area is more consistent, they are rated for higher loads at 1650lbs, and they accept the factory center cap.

I have a set of 10mm spacers on hand for the rear if they are not aggressive enough.
I should have it back by next weekend, so stand by for pics.

Sorry about that. Admittedly, I've been slacking off with the car lately.
I've also been waiting to install the E63 front bumper cover before taking any quality photos. Below are just a couple of cell phone pics.
I'm very happy with these wheels. For the price, they would be hard to beat. They accepted the TPMS sensors with no problem. Though they require hub centric rings, I have not had any vibration issues.
As for the offsets, my Forgestars were aggressive out back and mild up front. IMO, they looked very aftermarket in that regard. To the contrary, the TSW wheels are more balanced with front to rear offset. She needs to be dropped now to complete the look.
I gave Hankook the nod this time for tires. Definitely an improvement in the handling department which was to be expected, coming from 18" on Conti DWS.
Last, I did not have an opportunity to weigh the wheels as they were delivered straight to the shop which mounted the tires.
If you have any specific questions, just let me know.
