Love the car had around 6 weeks now but 17" wheels are just to small for my e60, i have a set of 19" wheels that come tomorrow. anyone else running 19's?? How do you find them?

Waiting to see pics of your car with the new rims stuarm

Non RF 19"'s run even nicer than 17" RF's.

But watch out for pit holes.

I have the M166 19's and love em. Ride quality kinda goes to pooper though, but hey, LOOKS BADASS. Also, watch for potholes....automatic car washes are a no-no, and LOOK OUT FOR CURBS!!!!
