You could get some CHs off an older 5 series, either the e34 or e39.? The e34 should have the same hub diameter, but you'd be hard pressed to find 19s on an e34.
Those CHs you've seen on e46fanatics wouldn't work, unless you're willing to use spacers, which isn't recommended.

e34 had 72.5mm hubs, fyi.

[/quote]why is it preferred to avoid hubcentric rings and spacers? What kind of detrimental effects do they have?

Oh and the e46 M3 should have the same hub center size, so no need to worry there. If it were me though, I'd pass on M3 wheels, unless they were really cheap.

Spacers suck worse than hubcentric rings. You really want to avoid these at all costs.

Everything I've read tells me that spacers should be avoided, but it seems that many on this board have used them with no ill effects reported. What do you make of this?

Hub rings are a pain, often getting stuck, or cracking.
Best to get wheels specifically designed for the purpose.
I don't think the Anniversary II's are offered in 19" fitments for the e60/61/63/64, only 20".

I agree with the spacers, but hubcentric rings don't seem to be that bad.? Cheap to replace as well.?

? I think the BBS CH is the perfect mix, and if I were to get any other wheel, it would be the Hamann Anniversary's (only come in 20'' though), ACS Type II (ACS = $$$) or some DPE's.?

A lot of people have surgical augmentation with no 'reported' ill effects initially, I still wouldn't go for it.

Just get some DPEs phil.? Don't think I've seen a set on an e60 as of yet, and with custom offsets and the such, no need to worry with all this nonsense.

Have you seen the Radenergie R10? They are available in 19" and 20" fitments, and different color centers.

Yeah, those are really good looking wheels, but a lot of $ for me, and unless I want to save up for a while, I won't be able to get those.? CH's are a good price and they're really good looking wheels.
