I'm choosing between 19" Hartge Classic II and 20" Breyton Spirit for my 525i. I know the 20" would be a bit cooler, but I would have to be more careful for the potholes. Please advise. Thanks.

I have 19" 166 wheels and although they look bigger then most 19" because of the design, if they had them in OEM 20" wheels I would have definitely gone 20's.

You can sell me your wheels and tyres nice and cheap and get the 20's instead if you like, I have a lot of saving to do for the 20inch design I want, the Hamann's actually, 166's gonna grace my car in the mean time or 172's
