Hey guys,

I'm about to order a set of HRE P40 wheels and would like to hear your opinion regarding the pros and cons of 19" vs. 20". Personally, I prefer 19" but notice a lot of members go with 20". Any advice is appreciated.

20's fit with the car better i think, i had 19 volks and they looked good but for the size of the e60 i think its best to go with 20's plus tire sizes in 20s generally run a bit cheaper

the HRE Monoblok P40 are awesome looking wheels.. congrats! .. it's all a matter of preference, but many people say if you want wheels with a lip then get 20s for sure.. if no lip, then 19s are fine..

Looks like the consensus is 20".

Thank you everyone!
