Hi guys

I'm new to this site...
I'm from San Jose, CA (Bay Area North California)

I just bought a 2004 bmw 525i and I want to put rims on it.

Will 20" fit? If so, does anyone know where I can get some good quality rims? Nothing to pricey. I am trying not to spend over $2,000 on rims & wheels.

Fitting is 225/55/95 stock. What's the most I can fit in it?

I'm new to buying rims, never bought one before. Please let mek now

Thanks guys!

Hello and welcome to the forum and 5 series family!!! Yes, 20" rims will fit, for good deals contact member AcutePerformance (Michael) - he's a great vendor. Good luck on your modding. (you will need at least 5 posts to use the PM function)

since you are in Nor Cal...you can try contacting Soinc MS as that shop/vendor is recc'd and used often by members here

Sleek Motoring is another nor cal shop I've seen mentioned often...


aside from acutepeformance

Trinity Autosport is another trusted and excellent vendor here on this forum...


browse the vendor classified section

https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showforum=36

and private member classfied section

https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showforum=37

as well as the GB section....

https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showforum=28

acuteperfomance is trying to put together a GB for 20" DPE wheels...

https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=86172

....I'm sure you'll find something...

GL and to the forum

Yeah, they do look nice. But it's too sporty lookin for me. I'm trying to find something that is in the middle.

I really like these, but damn they're a lil out of my budget.

I also like the dark grey/smoked looked. Seems like Asanti & Giovanna has them, but it's a lil too much $$$ for me!

+1 Especially with tires, try looking (like Gene said) at the vendor classifieds - there are some vendors offering specials on Miro's. They can be had in 20" for less than $1400 + tires = probably around $2k. Good luck

P.S. If you are willing to go 19" you will open your options considerably.
