My concern is the 20's in silver will look huge as they will stand out more. I think 166 wheels in 19 look plenty big, i see 20" 166 reps and I think they look way too large. I really wish someone had the silver GTS on their car so that i could see what they look like in a 19 or 20".

i found these on the e90 forum:
20" GTS
and those are 20's...hmm may have to go with 20's now.

20's! I have silver 19's and they are not big enough. This is the E60, not the E39. The wheel wells are much bigger.

It has to be the 20's. I would've regretted it if I'd have gone for the 19's. I've had no rubbing issues at all since I used narrower spacers.
Get them!!
Get them!!

I would get the deep dish if you want a muscle car look or the GTS in 20s if you want a more modern look. Per the e90 link, they'll look good with the silver gray, standing out more than that e90 in titanium silver.

If I don't get spacers will they rub?
Again worried about sacrificing ride quality for looks, that's the only thing holding me back.
