Searching for solid rims is giving me a headache. I want to go with 19's to get that comfort ride still, but if this car wasn't being shared by with the wife, I go 21's! I am looking for the concave look. Which rims would you go with for a white e60 with sports suspension? Post up pictures! Help a brother out!

Unless you go with something high-end, concave is sort of played out. Vertini Magic give you concave w/ lip, and they're pretty affordable.
172s always look good on a 5.
CSL style is a classic too.

I run 19" OE style 128 19x9 front ET 22 and 19x10 rear ET 14. Great offsets and they are definitely concave and not played out by any means. Concave played out? Never heard of that before. depends on the wheel!

I'm very happy with my Miro 111's - reasonably priced too.
