I am looking for a nice set of 20" and although I like the M5 and M6 look, I want something different for my 2005 545i w/sport pkg. Car is black btw.

A. do you like them?

B. do you have them.

C. Is the brand of ok quality?

D. pic...whether you have them yourself or just have pics of them on an E60.

Thanks all!

Vince

Ah, the Axis Penta wheels. These wheels were some of my favorite wheels when I first joined this board. Check out member Axis530's Gallery here:

Great wheels. Get them, but get them in 20's, not 19's. Because of the deep dish, going with 19's actually will make them look more like 18's. You don't want that.

I like them and they seem to be a deal considering they aren't putting crap Falken tires on them. BMW has been using the Continentals for years....good stuff + they look good!
