^lmfao, true

 

Wheels look to small, tires are to thick, does not look good!! stock m5 wheels have more concave.

 

I love how those wheels look. I am eyeing them for me 535xi in 18 inch.

 

That's funny... I just bought them (via Craigslist), and now I find this thread...

They will look AWESOME on my Sapphire-Black 530i (OEM Sport Suspension), no doubt.


Just a bit worried about offset and best tire size.
But, more about that later; doing some more research right now....

 

You needed to buy the spacers he had for sale also or get your own. I would get 15mm for the front ...also replied to other thread

 

Thanks, bro.... appreciate the feedback! Guess I'll have him send the spacers as well then.

Come to think about it - and thanks to your response to the other thread - I guess I'll try my luck with "the usual" 245/35 and 275/30 tires.
Just throws me off that what he posted might be an M3 setup... weird. Would that actually work on his M5? Still waiting for his confirmation on the ETs...

Thanks, 525iEnjoy!

 

These were my wheels and I can tell you these low resolution picture do not do them justice. One, my M5 is not lowered. Two, the camera has a hard time capturing the concavity of the wheels. Granted, the fronts are NOT as concave as the OEM M5 wheels, but they still look good. I got tons of compliments from people about the car since the wheels make the car look a bit more "muscular" (not that an M5 isn't already muscular). I liked the OEM size since I did not sacrifice ride quality and yes the tire looks big because the Hankooks side profile looks bigger than the Continental Sport Contacts that were originally on it.

I have a picture that shows just how concave they are but the file is bigger than 2MB.

 

Nice to see you on here TR930... As previously disclosed, I hope someone picks up these wheels from ya!

 

hey Tr930 as a42kracer said welcome, I dont think anyone s dissing the wheels just the way the pictures are taken just dont do it justice

 

No sweat guys. The issue is that there is an inner "edge" which creates the illusion that they are a smaller diameter than stock. If that edge were painted black, then the full radius of the wheel can be seen. They are beautiful in person, but pictures were not kind to how good they look in reality.
