Does anyone have a titan silver E60 with the 128 wheels?
Do you have any pictures?

How is the ride? Too bumpy?
How are they compared to 18"

Thanks

Waiting for the 128's myself on a carbon black E60. I believe you can see some (small!!) pictures of 128 wheels (I believe) on a titan silver E60 at this location http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=1931&hl=

Thanks!

I'm not sure about them. They look kind of bulky...
What do you guys think I should get?
124 18"
135 18" M Wheels
128 19"

Will the 19" be too harsh? I'm afraid it's gonna be an uncomfortable ride. But haven't tried 19"
I've tried 18" and they are OK, comfortwise.

What do you think?

I did a test drive with a friend's E60 with 128 wheels. No problem at all, even on slightly bumpy roads. That has been confirmed by all people I asked about it.

If you live in a area with a lot of bumpy roads, no need to say that there will be some difference between 18" and 19".

Personally, I find the standard 135 wheels (for the M-Sport) too small for the size of the car. I also have no problem to give up just a little bit of comfort for the looks of the 128's.
Maybe you can get some other opinions. If you do a search on the forum using '128', you will find that there's a number of people who just got themselves the 128's on a new E60 (e.g. Robba, BMWNashville etc)
