I have thought about both, I have decided to go 20"..something along the styling lines of Breyton Magic with alloy centre and stainless lip split rim type of wheel

I also say go for 20" wheels.

They will fill your wheel well much better.

For those of you that already have 20's, did you have to buy lowering springs?
If so, what did the car look like with the 20's and stock springs?

I'm assuming anyone with the 545i and Sport package gets shorter springs than a 545i without the Sport package, hence, a slightly lowered car.

Cool. I'm thinking of getting Toyo tires myself but still doing some research.

How do you like that B&B muffler?
