The first two are Bremmer Kraft BR06 rims one is black w a mach lip and the other is bright silver. The third is a Sport Edition KM11. The fourth is a Rial Nogaro and the last one is an Avarus av6.

No love for the Sport Edition at all here...Bremmer Kraft is a bit on the heavy side, not really sure about the quality either. Of the 5, I would have to go with Avarus.

Actually are the prices for these rims similar to the 19" VB3...check out the VB3 and may be get a quote from our vendor to compare.

I don't like any of these. Sorry. I like the original BBS CH, but I went with CK, because they are more sculpted and give the car more visual interest. That said, I think they aren't available for RWD E60 offsets. Honestly, I'd recommend a used set of M5 rims - style M166. Also, look into the classifieds - there are always a few forged sets in pristine condition floating around there. Talk to Michael of Acute Performance (he's a member on here, a vendor and an avid enthusiast with a wide array of knowledge, great deals on rims and best customer service ever), also member John@Motorcepts - he's in New York, but he's a vendor for many of the more popular, higher quality wheels on this forum. He's also a good source of knowledge and provides great CS. That's what I'd do, if I were in your shoes.

Either way, good luck! :thumbsup: And hope you'll share pics of the car when you get it all hooked up ;)

all ugly bro. BMW are the only car company that make decent stock alloys, and i think the 172's are one of the best and are a perfect match for the 5 series' character! And the colour of them is just bang on! Nice shade of silver they are!

Hey budget is a budget. Im all for budget

VMR offer no weight savings and 172's are rear heavy not very light for alloy

Sport edition will probably fit the best. I ran em no complaints, they fit over the M5 brakes so thats four stars right there. bremmers might fit look like they do from what I've read, Haven't fitted those. VMR will fit but offer no real weight savings but will offer 100% mounting with no rings spacers etc..

if you cant do VMR, Do Sport editions or Bremmer for the money.. What ever you choose just make sure the offset is right and they're hub centric

Since Bremmers are 19x8 get 20's for the rear!
