Yes another wheel question.

I've decided to not do the 167's since they are on a few too many E60's. After some thought I agree with almost everyone's response to my last post...I need 20's for this beast!

So here are my first few choices. 20" Breyton GTS-R or 20" Forgestar F14? I really like both of these wheels. They are very similar in looks, weight, and price. I was also considering 20" Miro 111, but I think I'll place them 3rd on my choice list.

One of the main differences is that you can order the Forgestar in a gunmetal finish which I am considering. Of course if I decide on getting my new wheels in the normal silver this is a non-factor. I'm not sure what would look best on my Silver Grey M.

So once again I am asking my E60 fam for some advice. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

(Sorry if someone gets mad for me using their pics)

FORGESTAR F14 (I don't want it in black though)




BREYTON GTS-R Anyone with pics of this on an E60???



MIRO 111

What's your budget? Maybe I can put you in some forged wheels instead of the cast ones you've picked.

Perhaps Forgestar F14F forged wheels, but at that price, might as well get DPE's.

Thanks. Honestly at this point I didn't want to spend too much on wheels.(this year) I've already spent a few $$$$ on RPI exhaust/powder coating, pulley, ram air kit, tint, and tons of small cosmetic mods. My plan is to buy some inexpensive wheels this year, sell them next year, then get a nice set of wheels next year...

Thanks. That's close to the picture that I needed. I wish there were more of the whole profile during the day. I'm really undecided about Gunmetal or Silver...

I'm getting my miro 111's delivered this week. I liked the Forgestar bucks the miros have more of a concave.

I'm still trying to get a hold of someone that has a set of miro's and has been actively using them for a year or so. Wanna know if they have had any problems with the wheels warping or cracking, my buddy the rich snob who drives a 7 series with 3-piece forged 22" rims that cost 8k laughed at me when I mentioned miros, so anyone that has any input on these rims speak up cause I'm seriously considering them because of the price
