Thinking of changing the 16" wheel to 18" or 19". Will that consumpt much more fuel and sacify the passenger comfort? Some shops convince me to go for lighting wheel which won't take more fuel than the factory ones. I am not sure about this?
Any good shop recommened for changing wheel and where can I find second hand wheel?
Thanks.

I went though some other lcoal forums on cars but no one like this mainly on E60 which is great.
I preapre to spend some money to upgrade my E60 including 1) wheel and tyre 2) bodykit (i have no idea how to start with it) 3) car audio (the exsiting one is far too bad.
I need help from you guys here.

The increased grip will makes you feel the car become slower therefore you would eventually step the gas pedal harder. Some say you will need a sprint booster for a more sensitive gas pdeal.
The original equipped 18" is running on 245/40R18 run flat tyres.
You should check which wheel setup you would like to go with OE parts website like http://bmwfans.info , enter your VIN and search for the right wheel.
I am running on 19" (see my signature) and the mixed fuel consumption is below 13L/100km.

glad you guys still have the modding spirit.
it won't be over mod'd, as it is a 2 door, it is easier to fit more extreme items on eg.no rear door=a bigger
side skirt splitter, as no-one will step onto it, i already have the cf AMG rear lip(not for general sale yet)
As i have a dark colour, fitting cf would be easy and no need for colour coding
Capt 16" i need your help to design some bits.
Wheels - cross keys the fronts arrive this week or there willbe Millwall style!!
saying that why are we meeting on the 16th? is it something to do with the same size wheels, those Dinky/Corgi
puny,feeble,cretinous,weedy,pussy(sorry abt that one
),pathetic,cute,shopping cart....wheels????
can u take any more Capt 16???

If you change to lighter wheel you will save a fuel not use more
I am getting 19" Bryton GTS R and these are very light for the price.

Welcome to our family telegogo
Changing from 16" with run-flat to 18" without run-flat will not affect the ride quality, but you will feel slightly more bumpy if you go for the 19" due to the lower profile.
Lighter wheels will improve the fuel economy and handling in reality, but it wont be much i expect.
Dont buy wheels for its weight as we are not boy racer, buy it for the looks
