Do you guys think 21 inch steplip would look too big for a 550i? OR is 20inch steplip cool? 4 rear 3 front. Im still debating what i should i get. Im lookin towards 20in steplip but might want 21in steplip. WHAT SHOULD I DO!!

20" is ideal size with a lip...anything bigger is no good IMHO.

I have 21" and I love them...It fills up the wheel wells better....The only difference is that you will feel a little more bumps than a 20 with a thicker side wall....Mine are for sale if you are interested....They are less then 6 months old...Pm if you have any questions....

you might get away with 21 on an m5 since it has wider fenders. probably not a good idea on a standard e60, since you cant get as much tire around the rim.
