My Ride: 2007 M5
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....

My Ride: 2007 M5
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.

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.
