RS-GT is forged and therefore lighter and more expensive.
RXII is cast, IIRC.

Also i'd like to ask you between a cast rim and a forged one wich is likely to be more durable and stronger at hits and potential damage?
Thank you.

Yes but i'd like a 19" rim. 20 is too much for our poor roads here. 19 is already on the knive's edge.
Hartge makes Classic2's in 19" as well. Here's the info from their website (in the E60 section):
37 31 2395 J HARTGE wheel set
8.5 x 19" offset 15 with 245 / 35 ZR 19 front
9.5 x 19" offset 22 with 275 / 30 ZR 19 rear

My Ride: 2004 545i - 6 speed manual (July 04 build), silver-grey/black, sports package std equipment (18", active roll, active steering, adaptive headlights), premium sound, bluetooth enabled, folding rear seat, lumbar, 3m hood/bumper protective film, rear tint, euro reflectors.
Its all in the offset. The tires fit a wide range of tires and the track will be the same on a 9.5 or 10" rim.
a 9.5" 166M rim with 28mm offset (I think) and 285/35/19 will fit without a problem - but you are right at the edge of the fender and with a tire that large you can not extend anymore out. So, going to a 10" rim, you need to move the rim inward a bit.
