New to the forum and the BMW owners world in general. I have recently picked up a 2008 550i sport package. Its running the factory 19s presently. I am really feeling the Miro 111s even though they seem to be the "trendy" wheel. The two debates that I am looking to get some opinions on here is the 19" vs the 20" and the matte over silver. The car is Alpine white and the black would look good on there, however, they hyper silvers are alittle more of the refined look. The debate from 19 to 20 is the handling and warranty issues since I have a CPO. Any help here and/or pics?

if you had then youd see that the majority of opinions are covered and it comes down to personal preference, style and cost

20's if you want a lipped wheel, or 19's if no lip.

I have 19's with no lip and think they look great on my 550 with stock sport suspension. I thought I was going to need to lower it, but I don't think it does...for now anyways
