ive seen 21's on a 5 series and i can say it looks clean, proportion only though he had a bodykit. my question is, would the e60 still look good with 21's wheels without a bodykit, stock????

I mean...with a slight drop...maybe. I wouldnt say to go to 21s anyway. 20's are enough. You probably saw 21s on an M5. I would go at least with an ACS replica kit eventually. I love the Ac kit thats what Ill be getting.

I think it would look good! but like everyone said you need to drop it.

At least you're not getting the bodykit before the wheels because otherwise that would look kinda ghetto. It sorta annoys me when someone has a bodykit but decided to leave the wheels stock.

I didn't realize his is sitting on sport OEM suspension. It looks good with the 21" wheels. That Rieger kit really helps too

Thanks.
Personally, I think the 21's fill up the wheel wells a lot better than 20's. But it comes down to personal preference.
20's obviously look great on the E60; that's why most people have them. I wanted to be a little "louder" with my car.

My car will be up for sale very soon. Just a heads up to everyone
