Can't do anything on the shipping. Just fly to the US and take them back to Brazil -- probably cheaper that way

Someone in this forum tried 21" wheels. However, you would need really thin sidewalls on the tires and the ride was very harsh. It could be very bad for the rim as well if the road is not smooth.

Balbs,

Thanks for your tip. Here in Brazil, I don't have options to buy wheels for my E60. I'm not use the car everyday, so maybe I can try.... But I don't know. I'm still looking for wheels in the USA and here.

There are a few members on here with 21s...it can be done but it's risky due to the small tire wall

To the OP:I wouldn't do it, but it's your ride. What color is your car? Is that the finish you intend to get? I don't like how busy it looks in the center of the wheel, but I guess that's what makes it different from the rest. To me it just looks too replica-ish if that makes any sense. As other's have mentioned in previous posts, hit up Michael at Acute Performance or any of the other vendors for that matter with your budget and vision desired and I'm sure they will take care of you. GL man.
i understand that i just meant that the body style of a gt-r is way different from that of our e60s the lines and stuff are all different, so u cant really contrast how the rims look on the gt-r vs. the e60.

Hi,

Here is the pictures of my car with the 21" wheels. The wheels will be painted with Hiper Silver.

What do you think ? Nice, ugly or what ?

Looks good (a little too big).

If you go this route you're def going to have to put on an M-Tech body kit to accent those aggressive wheels.
