I recently replaced my original 04 545i Style 124 wheels with these after-market Staggered M Parallel wheels. I like the look and wondered what others thought?

I'm in Hong Kong right now at the Grand Hyatt. There was an older really clean 3-series out front with those wheels. Uh huh, I do not think they're right for the e60 at all.

I loved those wheels on my E39. They're the M-Parallel 37 wheels, which normally comes on the E38 sport package.
IMHO, I think they look better as bigger wheels. Unfortunately for me, BMW only made them as 18x8 and 18x9.5,
so I ran after-market 19x9 fronts and 19x9.5 rears.
What size are you running on your E60?
And yes ... I was once guilty of chrome

Thanks for the feedback guys. They are 18's (245/40 front & 275/35 rears). Three of the four 124's were slightly bent so I had to either have them straightened or buy new wheels. Since the roads in PA are usually rated the worst in the US, wheel replacement is a common occurrence.
