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.
bbs too rich for my blood....nice but to much for me

i have 20's and live in nyc... Granted, you have to be a bit cautious, but I had the 19" VMR VB-3 CSL wheels on my 530 and was just as careful. If you're going to do a wheel in a 19, do not do it with a lip. It won't look right on the E60. I've seen the Beyern's on a few members cars and it just doesn't look right. Everyone above has pointed out very good points. Listen to them. If you must have a lip, then you have to do 20's.
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...

Be careful if u gonna get the vmr in 20's...thats what newryll from trinity told me...he actually said u might rub
yes, for the styles available in 20s and any other 20" wheel, thats with the thick sidewalls for tires. but we do recommend the thick sidewalls for more rim protection, but rolling/cutting fenders will be necessary.
btw, thanks again Toni

You are just as likely to bend a 19 as you would a 20, if you hit a big pothole. You just have to be careful, whichever way you go. There are some people running the rubber band tires on the 20's, but it isn't necessary.
