I FINALLY GOT SOME DECENT PICS OF MY 08 535XI. I HAD MY BOY WEIZ THE OWNER @ EAA WHICH MAKES RENNEN, DONZ & A LOT OF OTHER HIGH END LINES IN OUT IN CALI MAKE THIS SET. THANKS AGAIN, AND JOE OUT AT HIS QUEENS NY SHOP. AT 1ST I HAD GOT 22'' DONZ BONNANO (THEIR CASTED LINE) BECAUSE I WAS LEASING THE CAR, AND I DIDN'T WANT TO TOUCH THE SUSPENSION, BECAUSE I HATE HOW HIGH THE XI'S SIT. I SHOULD OF WENT WITH A FORGED WHEEL THE FIRST TIME, BECAUSE THE WHEEL IS LIGHTER & STRONGER, IN ORDER TO RIDE WITH NO RUB ON 22'S, YOU NEED A 7''-8'' WIDTH RIM WITH A 235/25 OR 235/30/22 TIRE ALL AROUND IF YOU ARE NOT ON A STAGGERED SETUP (FOR XI ONLY), AND THE WEIGHT MADE THE RIDE HORRIBLE. WITH THE POTHOLES IN NY I'M SURPRISED THOSE CAST RIMS SURVIVED. I HAD TO GET RID OF THAT SIZE WHEEL THE CAR DIDN'T EVEN LOOK TASTEFUL. NOW I'M ON THE 20'' DONZ MASSERIA HIGH CONCAVE, MY WIFE LIKES RIMS WITH ONLY FACE (NO LIP) I LIKE THE DEEP LIP LOOK. SHE WANTED THE M6 WHEELS, SO I TOOK THE EXTREME CONCAVE IDEA FROM THEIR RENNEN LINE, AND WEIZ TURNED THE MASSERIA INTO A HIGH CONCAVE, SINCE THE MACHINE DOESN'T HAVE THE M6 PROGRAM TO CUT. I LOWERED THE CAR WITH H&R SPRINGS ON STOCK STRUTS, THEN ADDED THE WHEELS, THEN THAT'S WHEN THE MAGIC STARTED. MY WIFE ISN'T INTO THE WHOLE CUSTOM CAR LOOK, BUT WHEN SHE SAW THE NEW LOOK, AND THE RIDE QUALITY WAS GREAT. NOW IT'S WIFEY CERTIFIED.

V THE RUSSIAN: YOU ARE RIGHT THESE WHEELS RESEMBLE THE ADV 0.5 DEEP CONCAVE WHEEL THAT ANGELSLAYER HAS ON HIS M5 & DPE SP-SC5 WHEEL (I SEEN HIS THREAD AFTER I ORDERED THESE) ONLY THING IS HIS FACE PROJECTS HALF WAY OF THE LIP, WHERE MINE PROJECTS 1/2'' FROM THE LIP EDGE. I ALSO HAVE 4'' LIPS IN ALL AROUND, WHERE ONLY HIS REAR RIMS ARE 4''+ LIPS.
THESE WHEELS ARE SIMILAR BECAUSE OF THE 5 POINT STAR, BUT EACH ONE IS CUT DIFFERENTLY IF YOU LOOK AT EACH ONE CLOSELY. MY BOY HAS A PROFESSIONAL CAMERA WHERE I WANT TO TAKE A PHOTO SHOOT, BUT SINCE YOU ASKED WHEN I'M GOING TO POST MORE PICS, I JUST CAN'T WAIT. 1ST I WILL SHOW THE PICS OF THE HORRIBLE 22'S, THEN MY NEW SET, THEN THE DPE & ANGELSLAYERS LINK. LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD ADD NEXT, OR JUST LEAVE THE CAR THE WAY IT IS?

Nice 5 spoke with concavity. Those look so much like the OEM concept.

I love how they look. I'd say, you need some type of a lip on the front bumper, or an M-tech/M5tech/M5 bumper - something. I'm sure its planned

Great look though! WAAAAY better than those 22's. Those 22's are for an X5/X6 - try hawking them on Xoutpost (although its not easy to sell things there).

congrats on the new wheels
i'm just not a big fan of the 5 spoke, it exposes
the rotors and calipers too much
but this was pretty well done..

I like it! Definitely need a body kit though. And please turn off the caps. It's really hard to read.

I'm thinking of hitting up Mike from Acute Performace to add the R1 Concept cross drilled/slotted rotors with a set of Hawk HPS pads which he highly recommended, since he's the only one with the cheapest $$$ for these rotors&pads.

Here are the specs for these wheels instead of just the width.

Make: Donz
Style: 3 Piece Masseria (High Concave)
Size: 20''
width: 9'' (All Around) 5'' inner lip 4'' Chrome outter Lip
Offset: ET35
Weight: 25LBS (I'm getting the back of the hubs shaved for less weight without losing the integrity of the wheel which the weight will be in the low 20's)
Face: Brushed Aluminum

Thanks to my fellow E60 owners for the compliments, and Ideas. I will post better Pics once She's finished.
