Mine is 20" though.. well, don't you think that 19" looks pretty small in E60? IMHO, you should have bought the 20"..

Send me pictures of yours - they are a definite upgrade from my 18" stock - and I bought them slightly used with 1500 miles on them - I paid $2500 for all 4 from a guy who upgraded to 20" on his 6 series. I think the 19" are almost perfect and for the price I got them for.

From all that I've read, you give up ride quality and performance with 20's vs 19's. That's why I got 19's on mine. As for look, eye of the beholder and all, but 19's are plenty sweet looking.

here they are in 20. I have to agree with soc_fans. 19s are too small.





merzbow... i got 20s and it rides perfect. not an ounce of ride quality has been given up due to the wheels, maybe if you change suspension, which i did, you get a bit of a stiffer ride but it had nothing to do with the wheels.

yeah silver with polished lip is better. Thats what I have too. On the pressure....I say put it 6 lbs. below its max allowable pressure. (Somebody confirm this). I got that from my cuzn. I think it makes sense cuz especially on lowered cars were the wheels are a little cambered, you need to make sure that thread is straight all the way across. these low profile tires dont bulge in the middle of the thread so just make sure that its pressurize to the max so that it doesnt cave in in the middle of the thread, so it doesnt start wasting the inner thread too much.
