That is funny. I left there at about 1 pm yesterday.
Given that your streets are good, why not get 20s? Just, if you can spring for them, get a good set of forged wheels to keep the unsprung weight to a minimum.

Hey I'm in North Scottsdale. Yea I would get 20's. I'm also shopping for some rims too but don't want to roll the fenders.
Hey,, glad to see other ppl out my way...
why dont you ant to roll your fenders? its so ez and it doesnt affect the car at all.v I have rolled the fenders on all my cars when i lower them and get wheels...
if you ned a wheel guy my guy doug @ rim one is a huge hookup for installs and fender roll...

Depends on if this car is a daily driver and the condition of the roads in your area area. I'm re thinking my 20" choice since my car is a daily driver and Houston has terrible roads with many potholes. IMO you need more wheel protection (thicker tires) if your roads are really bad, and your E60 is your daily driver.
