ALthough I don't think they are as bad as everyone else does, I do like all the other rims much better

There's one thing really positive about the 16 inch wheels. The ride quality is great (I testdrove a 16 inch car from the dealer). I still find my ride quality rather harsh and am not satisfied with the extreme noise the tires make (my new bridgestones also). I am debating to switch up to 19 inch wheels with normal tires. But since I have no spare tire I should bring a can with tiresealant with me when I have a flat.
We'll see what the future brings!

I've seen these 16 inch e60 wheels in real life too. I like the ones shown in this thread more then the ones in the picture shown by me..
