If you are going aftermarket, 20s.
If you are going OEM BMW, 19s (the only thing you can do).

If you are going for the style or looks....you should go for 20" . For performance 19" is should be better but if you have a M5 then is doesn't matter what size you going to for

Nope, M5 comes with Style 166 wheels, which are 19s:

Bottom line: is the roads near you are crappy, go with 19th. If the roads are good, 19s or 20s are fine. But especially if you get 20s, you will need to think about lowering your car.


Quick Reply: cant decide 20s or 19s
