I continued my search for bad ass rims as I wasnīt convinced with 19"... This morning I fell in love!!! I went to the 4th shop and right in the entrance a nice set of Vertinis smiled at me! Every other rim in the shop suddenly appeared cheap and dull!
I am searching around the forum here and it appears a few of you guys have them mounted aswell! I hope you all like them. Everybody happy with them? No bending or so?
Here are a few pics: love at first sight! tomorrow I get them mounted with 245/30/20 and 275/30/20!

Those look nice. Most people use 245/35/20 in front for a little extra rim protection.

Holy crap! I had the wheels mounted today and it looks amazing! Moreso because nowadays you donīt see a single car driving around with this size wheels anymore apart from X5, X6 and those kind of 4x4īs.
I had to revisit the shop because the wheels were rubbing all over the place. The wheels were ordered for e60 and came with its spacers. But man were they wrong!! I got 4x ET 35 and they came with 20mm spacers! In the front thatīs fine, allthough I think 15mm would have been enough, but the rear!!! Man, almost sticking out! We took out the rear spacers and Voila! No rubbing no more! But the wheel is just a bit too far in for the best look. We have ordered 5mm spacers now and that will do the job.


here are a few quick shots I just made in the garage, ENJOY!:
