Hay Gang.
I feel very confused at the moment.
I am seriously considering getting Breyton Magic style wheels for my 530i here in Aust.
When I go to the local tyre shop they seem to know very little, so I'm kinda relying on you guys.
My car is stock standard with 225/50/17 all round.
Should I go with the 19's or play it safe on 18's?
What do you think of the Breyton Magic style rim or should I go for ones with the polished lip?
My car is Orient Blue.
Many Thanks.

welcome. since youre getting a wheel with a lip, id say go for 20s. just my opinion. otherwise go ahead and go with the 19s if you're more comfortable with that. enjoy the forums.

Thanks Slick. what do you like the Magic or the Spirit?
Do you think going from 17's to 19's will comprimise my ride?
