With a deep lip the 19's look small....really small IMO.
I really like the 172s....but can't find OEMs for a reasonable price, only reps.

thanks for posting your pic, my cars silver and im getting black rims with a dish so you've given me a good idea to how it will look. A bit cheaky to ask but any chance of a full on side shot of your car? thanks buddy

aaarrgh this is such a hard decision! They do 20" in the same rims i want but for like $700 more then the 19's which is a big jump. On top of everything my wife told me she's pregnant today with our first baby so i should be saving to spend money on my new baby not the e60 baby!! Shall i just go for the 19", better then rolling on my 18" standard rims i suppose right? Maybe 20" can come later!

i see you have the Linea Corse rims in 19". Those are very similar to BBS LM's aren't they? I can see your pic slightly at the bottom of your post but do you think you can put a clear pic from the same side angle? These are sort of similar to the rims i'm getting. thanks
