Wheel decisions decisions.-image.jpgHey gang.
Still deciding on what to upgrade to.
Currently on stock 17 star star.
Only want to jump one inch as Australian roads aren't the best.
Thinking about style 89 18inch.
Pic attached? what do you think?
Do they come out on 5 e60's? Does anyone know much about them.
Does anyone have other opions about OEM 18 inch options.
I don't want to have to change suspension etc.
Happy to go to Non run flats.

I can really see that wheel being a BITCH to keep clean.

Take a look at the 124's. They were stock on the e60s with sport, and I think they look great. JMO. YMMV.

I like the wheels. Similar to an Alpina wheel. No idea if they fit E60's. You need to do a lot of research when changing to a wheel that was not offered from the factory on your model.
