Alright guys, i'm looking for new rims, Black centers with polished or chrome lips in 20's with Tires. Budget is around 2000$ more or less.
Also some lowering springs.. H&R or Eibach??
I'm hoping i dont have to roll my fenders.
Car is Black on Black 06 530i.

Here are some of my options, feel free to suggest more.

if you have pix mounted on E60, please post.

Thanks

Petrol Vngeance



Bayern Mesh



MMR GT1

petrol vengeance, shot nerweezy a pm for a good price for that, tires and springs.

i know its a bit bad video quality but you get the idea


also the drop difference between h&r and eibach is minimal. Unless you are getting shocks to go then stay with eibach.

For tires, General Exclaim UHP tires or Falken 452s are a bargain

How about the Beyern Baroque. I was going to get those. Still haven't seen the Baroque on a E60. But out of the 3, I would get the Petrol.

Beyern Mesh for sure, I prefer the flatter spoke design on these wheels.
