Depends on the wheel style that you're considering.

If you're going for lips, then you have to go 20s.
If no lips, then 19s are ok.

Exactly what Frank says.

Just out of curiosity, anyone here using BMW styling 125 rims (19") on their beloved E60? I would love to see a pic of it as I am contemplating if I need to swap my current rims to the styling 125.



Thats the styling 125.


what I have is this, below.


cheers
Keep the 172's! the 125's look abit dated, 172s look nice on a e60, but are a bitch 2keep clean lol.

So I'm starting to browse new rims, I am just undecided whether to go with 19 or 20. I'd like to know from you guys that have these two wheel sizes.

The way I see it, the smaller more expensive 19's would be a better ride and that's important. However, the 20's are cheaper and how much difference can it make? Your opinions will make my decision.

Thanks,
Dale
