BEAUTIFUL!

I originally ordered mine with Orient, but changed it to Black Sapphire. I wish I had stuck with Orient now. I love how it has some color during the day, but looks black at night.

It looks like the rear wheel is too small. Wrong tire size or the car needs to be lowered. It looks strange.

Does anyone here know much about tires?

I have 245/35/zr 19 on the front
and 275 30/zr 19 on the rear.

I just took a good look and my rear tires in lower profile than my rear. This does make it look strange. They were installed by my dealer yesterday. I think the rear should be 275/35 zr 19.

Shouldn't the profile size be the same?

Also on the style 124 wheels the rear wheel profile differs from that on the front wheels - I'd assume it's how it should be.

19"ers look great.
All E60 rear wheels look smaller than front due to design of rear section. This has been commented upon by many car magazines. The only way around it would be to have 19" on front and 20" on rear.
