Hmm... So I've searched this board and I've seen pix of two member rides who have put on the 645ci's sport rims (19" ellipsoid)... one member even put it on temporarily and snapped pix just to show! (kudos bra).
Anway, I think the wheels would look good on my ride, so I inquired www.bmwwheels.com who have a set of 4 + tires all for $1.2k. They said these wouldn't fit my car because it's a SPORT 545i.
So now I'm wondering, were the members who put these wheels on running SPORT e60's or not?
Thx,

I think the rims should fit. Its the tyres that may not. Take the 19 inch rims for example. The tyre size for the E60 is 245/19/35 whereas the E63 spots 245/19/40. Thats just my opinion, but you should at least check with your local agent.

hey thanks guys.... well i think they would fit, although the offset in the rear would make the wheels jut out a little bit... this was discussed in the other thread, but it seemed to be ok still...
i don't think i'm gonna risk it... if it were a local dealer that had the rims for that price, then i'd go for it, but not through mail.. shipping is $200!
does look nice though... here's a pic of once of the member's ride with it... (not sure who is sitting in the car)
