What do you guys think about these wheels on my white 2008 535i? I'll be going with the staggered setup: 20x9 fronts and 20x10.5 rears. It's a machine face with a matte black window and polished lip:



Here's a pic of the silver finish on an M5:



My car is completely stock right now with the sport suspension package. I'm not going to do too much to the body other than switching out the front bumper to the M5Tech and leaving the sideskirts and rear bumper stock... so I'm going for wheels that are not too busy but has a classic yet aggressive look.

Opinions please!

Either that or a CSL type of wheel with a polished lip. It's tough to find a wheel to go with the white car unless I go with black wheels -- which I don't want dark wheels. Any suggestions? Thanks!

They look like Acura TL wheels to me.

Miro 111 hyper silver looks classic on a Alpine White 5 (IMO)

Thanks for the feedback guys!! I appreciate it all and don't mind if it's negative comments lol -- it all helps me to decide on which wheels to get. Also, I've been searching for 3 weeks now on this board and on the other 5-series boards.. just so you guys know that I've looked at hundreds of pics.

SDS5series -- you're right.. it does look better on a 3 series.

The Miro 111 looks good but I want a wheel with a chrome lip on it. Maybe I should consider going black wheels... how about these?

the first wheels would show off a big brake kit well, but it think you're going to stay with your stock brakes. the fronts will have little concavity, which i'm not a fan of.
the second option looks better. what size lips will they come with?
