if you are going with these wheels in 19's, you should know they will look more like 18's on the car, due to the lip. just an fyi.

If you want 19's, then none of those wheels are the right choice. Go with the VMR V710 or CSL VB-3's in that case. The 19's you have chosen, with the lip, will look too small.
This was my problem too, i changed from the vb-2 with lip to the hyperblack vb-3s
19inch is too small for a big lip, it will look funny and the tires will look bigger than they really are.

Have you considered the Breyton GTS wheels in 20's in Gunmetal that member poleposition has on his car? I would also like to point out that poleposition lives in NYC too, drives very aggressive and has had zero issues. He's also running a 30 and 25 profile, as he's got 295's in the rear. They are amazing looking wheels. And for $1600, you can't beat it. Just a thought...

Where is the BBS LM option? The only reason I don't have them on my car is because i can't find 20" reps. And for a little bit more money you can get some falken 452s.

Member SMG353 did these wheels in 19's on his 545 and they looked AWFUL! He realized it too, after they were mounted. He ended up returning them. He now nows that on the E60, a 20" wheel is a must if you are going to do a lip.
