no offense guys--not an Alpina wheel fan. Love the Miro 111s, though.

I love both wheels

Miro 111 fit the e60 much better in the young look.
alpina is a classic rim which will make the driver look older.

Did not vote, because I would not buy either of these wheels; I have zero confidence they'll hold up on NYC roads.

Looks-wise, both are great options, but I would say Miro 111 design is a bit more fitting to the E60. I've never liked how Alpina wheels looked on E60, even though they look great on just about every other BMW.

Yo Christian,

I still say pick up the Alpinas. Never been a fan of the Miros. Again tho, depending on the color of your car I highly recommend having them powder coated to give it a bit of a sportier look. I personally think they will look pretty hard if you do it right. A nice finish and a proper drop will set you off straight. I still fancy the earlier model Alpina wheels a bit more than the newer ones, but I don't believe they make them in reps. If you could snag a set of those that would be sick. The latter model is dope too tho. GL brother
