I'm looking to upgrade my 18" wheels on my 545. I'd love to get 19's but the roads here are similar to the ones in Iraq. 
Can anyone recommend a NICE 18" wheel as an upgrade. Thanks, George

Here's the BBS RK in 18" (my winter set up).
They are very light. Around 16.5 lbs if I remember correctly.

If you are getting a 18", make sure there's no LIP on the wheels. Otherwise the wheels will look really small on E60. Gd luck

Thanks Wolverine!
I may pick up a set of RS-GT's for my summer setup if the real estate gods are willing!
The RK's actually DO have a lip. Not huge, but I think it actually looks quite nice (very subjective of course).
