My Ride: 2006 530i.... Saphire Black Metallic...19 inch Axis Milanos....Auburn dakota interior.....ACS rear lip spoiler... And a whole lot of head turns ;)
Hey guys i will be recieving my 19's shortly, I was wondering how was the ride opposed to the stock tires and rims?
I have the premium package so i dont have the lower suspension. also how is the noise level? i assume this is based on the quality of tires. I went with a set of Fuzion ZRI's. Because they were priced well and had good reviews in terms of performance and quietness.
any info is greatly appreciated;
Also here is a pic of the wheels i purchased.
Thanks in advance

Sorry I can't comment. I took delivery, drove home (10 miles) and put on the 19's and have not looked back!
Don't worry about the ride, just enjoy the ride and the unique look..,

Those are the wheels I am seriously considering I know the price is good, can you post pics of your ride when you have them put on. I would like to see other pics of e60 besides that silver one.

I've got 19inch rims and sports suspension. The ride is good; not as hard as I first imagined. I have also had a chance to ride in a 520 with the stock 16 inch rims. If you do not speed and love comfort, then thats what you're looking for. The 16 inch rims are also not good to look at.
As far as noise level is concerned, I really think it comes down to the brand and model and, yes, our friends recommended one of the best; PS2.

Kriston (2k6e60) or jta001r,
Nice wheels. What style number (or part number) are they? I'm still shopping for 19" wheels.

If you want the best ride available with PLUS SIZE wheels, than you need to get Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires. THE SMOOTHEST AND QUIETEST RIDE.
