My Ride: Simple and Stunning....2004 BMW 530i...Tinted Windows...More to Come !
For the last few months I have checked almost every post on this forum about wheels .I m in a big dilemma to upgrade wheels and tires on my Black 2004 530i with regular suspension. Please help me as this post is somewhat related to my issue. I am deciding between
A. Vossen 082 machined black
B. Vertini Hennessy
C. MRR HR6 (no lip) .
Now the biggest question, 19" or 20" .
I am not a pro at mods and do not want to roll the fenders and obviously do not want any rubbing (as evryone) . Some of the members have recommended tire sizes as 245/35/20 (f) and 275/30/20 ? and one post says some other sizes. I really want to get this straighten-out to plan accordingly.
PS: The roads in Quebec are like driving in a third world country! Bumpy and you never know whats next !
My dealer offered my 19" New OEM 190's wirh continental run-flats for $3600 including installation.I think its toomuch !
Please try to rate the wheels as 1 ,2 and 3 as 1 being most suitable.
Thanks in Advance.

B:2
C: not at all
But then again A and B look alot alike to me. I like lips on my %^&$ i mean rims so C is out for me! I'm in the same boat, but I think I will go 20". I had 19" on my 335i and thought they were small. I've even looked into 22". But I think it's not worth the headache. Best of luck.
