My Ride: 545I and a half dozen other rides
I know this board is anti-Bling but...
When I bought this car (04 545i Sport) a couple weeks ago, it came with a extra set of 20 inch wheels. One rear tire was bad (tire separation) with a dent in the wheel and one had the chrome peeling. I decided to clean them up and put them on to see what they look like. Although not bad they are not really my style. My wife likes it though. If I kept them I would put a AC Schnitzer <sp?> type front lip spoiler and put the chrome grill back on. Where would I get rims repaired and what would the cost be like?
Keep or sell this and the stock 545i Sport wheels and tires and get something like a 20 inch all black M6 rep with a red pin stripe?
Wifey may not be too wild about that though

It's very unique. The wheels match to your car though. Good luck!!

Dude... disregard what the wife thinks. They are pretty fug. I don't mind bling, hell, I think they can look good. But the design on this is just bad. It's so... fatty to me.

The design suits a Benz better given the shape and spoke resemblance to AMG Monoblock's, even though they look nothing like it.
It matches the car though just fine, in the end you have 'love' them. The positive is the wheels are not the same BBS/Volk multispoke-like deep dish design every modded E60 owner tends to go with, so its different in that regard. Nothing wrong with going different, the car is sexy regardless.
