Alright guys. I need to take a poll as to which wheel you guys think would like best on my black e60. I've narrowed it down to these. Will be 19". Staggered or non-staggared?

For 19, not 3, 8 nor 9 since the dish look will look small. I personally like 1 for a clean sporty look ( one of my wheel options ). Also personally, I'm not into black on black but there are sweet looking black on black E60s out there. With 4 and 5, would look better with a big brakes kit.

I personally think #1 or #2 but in a gray finish looks the best with black. Mine is sapphire black and the flakes in the paint
compliment the gray wheels nicely!

I like #2. I also have a black sapphire E60. What is the price?
I am also having a minor crack in one of my stock wheels repaired now... so I also started looking at some new rims. I found two below that look good and the price is great. What do you folks think about replica wheels here. My tire guy and wheel repair guy said stock BMW wheels on run flats are the worse combo. (I am ditching my run flats). They see about 10 cracked rims a week!!! They said BMW stands for Bent My Wheel.

GoRaven : Those wheels look nice and for $554 seems like a real good deal. All of the rims I show here come with tires for $1399 plus tax. The rims alone are $999 plus tax. But these are 19" rims, not 18".
I don't want to lower my car, but I do want to close the gap between wheel and fender. Will 18" do the trick, or should I do 19's? Motorcity's look nice and with perfect gap. But I'm guessing he lowered his car?
If I wanted to keep the same 50 series tires, will 19's even fit inside the well? Or should I just get 18's just to be safe?
