Hey guys Iv been a lurker here for a while and decided to make my first post. Well, basically Im going to be purchasing a 550 in the hopefully sooner future and Im doing as much research as I can.
Well I was basically on bmw's site in the accessories section for the 7 series. IMO the wheels offered for the 7 are so hot and I was wondering if they would fit on the e60, specifically the Radial Styling 32.
Radial Styling 32 (Brilliant Line)
Cast-alloy radii offer 20" of solid style.
Front wheel, 9" x 20"
Rear wheel, 10" x 20"
MSRP: $480.00 each, Front;
$510.00 each, Rear?
Thats the info on the wheels and I also attached the pic. What do you guys think, can it be done?
PS. Is there a site that has the listing of all the wheels offered for the e60 by bmw? Thanks.

My Ride: 2004 545i - 6 speed manual (July 04 build), silver-grey/black, sports package std equipment (18", active roll, active steering, adaptive headlights), premium sound, bluetooth enabled, folding rear seat, lumbar, 3m hood/bumper protective film, rear tint, euro reflectors.
Those are nice looking rims.
I am in the process of switching to the 166 19" rims. 20" rims will fit. I would check with a good tire shop, not sure where you are located, but I have been working with Americas Tire Co in CA (Discount Tire in the rest of the US). They will list what tires will work for sure on that car.
A big question is the offset. My concern would be a 10" rim on the back with an offset made for the 7 series may not be right for the 5 series. The stock rim on the 550 is an 18" 8.0/9.0 with 20mm/32mm offset.
The tires that are said to fit on the back - I am hoping, are a 285/35x19 on a 19 x 9.5" rim with a 28mm offset. I think it will be tight, but like I said, I am hoping it will work. The thing I have been told is that the offset is the key to making a rim/tire setup work.
However, I am learning that there are a lot of BMW OER wheels that you can get in different offsets.
Good Luck
There was a great website that showed all of the BMW rims, but BMW made him take off all of the OEM pictures.

Yes, 20 inch style 32's will fit. check PolePosition's posts / pictures. he has 20" style 32s on his car (they happen to be painted black)

That's the setup I plan on using as well. Hope to get it done soon, should be no issues as long as the rubber is correct. Yes, Pole position does have that setup, but his wheels are aftermarket, and not OE. Specs are exactly the same. Looks great.

Hows the ride quality - do you need to get them lowered?
