I am getting winter tires put on my car, but want to still have aggressive looking tires. I got a good quote for 18 inch winter tires with the previous generation M5 rims.

Does anybody have any pictures with a M-Sport E60 with those rims?

I'm sure many people will sya that 17 inch winters are better. But since I have to keep winter tires on for around half the year...I don't see the point of putting on the M-Sport package on an E60 when you are going to drive on crappy looking tires for half the year...SO, big, good looking tires it is for the winter!

Thanks

Oh, any other 18 inch winter rim reccomendations with pictures would be helpful as well.

You mean aggressive looking wheels, not tires, right?

Are you considering the E39 M5 rims for your E60? If so, you can't mount these on the E60. The center bore size is different. We're 72.56 and the E39 is 74.1. Choose something else.

Using custom hubrings you can mount e39 m5 on e60. Ive done it myself.

Ah, right. Or you can use hubrings and you'll be set. Although, with all the rubbing issues I've heard with the new E60, I would stay clear, but then again, they worked for you. I guess it's up to you...
