I am thinking of buying the 19' M3 style wheels for a winter setup on my E60 and I was wondering if anyone has any pics of it installed on an E60. What do you guys think, how would it look?

I don't think it would suit the car at all....then again I have never seen it on a E60 before. Maybe someone can whip up a quick photoshop.

Thanks a lot. I think it looks ok, any other opinions. I saw a set for $900(replica) on ebay, do you guys think its worth it?

I would never buy a set of reps that are based off of a complex wheel design. The CSL or M167 reps are decent because the design of the wheels is relatively easy to mimic. The M166 wheels usually have really bad reps as they are a more complex design. The M3 wheels are probably going to have bad quality reps....I would look around the M3forum.net, there are plenty of people selling their M3 wheels, you could probably catch a good deal on some OEM's

Yeah, remember the picture that someone posted recently of the Style 166 reps? They were as flat as a pancake, totally lacking the concavity of the OEM 166s. On the other hand, the Miro reps for the Style 167 wheels look just like the OEM 167s IMHO.
