They are local to me. They are excellent quality. some say better then VMR. Look on e90post.com . They get great reviews. They even have a new design out.

AluFelgen wheels are excellent quality. Much better than VMR to be honest. VMR's are gravity cast as the AluFelgen's are low-pressure cast. Low-pressure cast makes them stronger and lighter than gravity cast.

Here's a link to an excellent thread explaining the differences between all the manufacturing processes: Crash Course on Wheel Types (Manufacturing methods)

hope this helps!

many guys on e90 post have 'em, and they love 'em. They are located in Miami. The guy from Aluffalgen sent me a PM because he wants to do a photo shoot with my car, bc no e60 has these on yet. We are setting one as we speak...lol.

Coincidence.

Cast is Cast, get forged wheels for your M5...specifically DPE's

you have all that power and all youre going to do is mess with it by adding heavy wheels

+1 for an M5 don't skimp. You didn't on your car why would you on something so important like wheels?

AluFelgen has tons of photos on their Facebook account. Didn't see any on E60s so I'll wait to see the first on your Bimmer. Good luck. They are nice, btw.
