I want your opinions!

What wheels should I put on my 2006 525xi? Polished? Black? Size? I know I want to keep an eye on offset so I can still drive aggressively and not rub.

Thanks!

What's your style? Gangsta, understated elegance, trackday ready?

Good question! Definitely the understated elegance or overall clean look. The blck rims seem to be a fad to me but some do look pretty darned slick.

I've been looking at wheels like those from Beyern.

I'd recommend not to go larger than 19" and 9.5 wide ET20 at rear. In my view any wider than that starts to get a little conspicuous. I'd stay witl aluminum/silver and stay away from chrome. I'd recommend 172m for a very cohesive, modern look or Alpina classics for a more timeless look. Rondell 0204 look great as well.

The Beyern wheels look stylish but I'd still stay away from that large chrome lip.

^^^ I'm using VMR VB3 in 10" width and lowered on KW Coilovers with ZERO rubbing issues. I think if you stick with 19x10 with ET25 you'll be fine.
