Hi everyone,

It's my first time posting a topic here. I am an old reader of this board but haven't just managed to get time to write here. Just for introduction - I have 03 530iA with sport suspension, dynamic drive, active steering, bluetooth... and 19 inch M5 wheels. I'll also post some pictures

Cheers
Allar
very nice wheels . but are you sure your car is a '03 ?

Hello alts,

I?m definately overwhelmed by those fantastic rims - want to have them too

Well, what tires do you have and what did you pay for them?

Yes, this is the M5 setup (9,5 back with 275 and 8,5 front with 245). I have to admit that I didn't expect the ride to be so smooth. I had 16 inch in the first place and the difference in ride quality hasn't gone worse. The ride handles much better and it isn't too stiff also. I'm happy with 19 inch, glad i didn't go for 18.

Thanks for all your comments. I'm glad to answer any more questions... and yes, this ebay address is http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...7964633121&rd=1

I bought the wheels directly without having to wait for the auction because the seller had many set of wheels.

So who's the one that said if you have an E60 and want the New M5 wheels you would have to install four front wheels as opposed to the regular New M5 setup? (M5 = wider fenders)


Yeah i remember someone on ebay selling them (authentic) for like 1500 US + shipping no tires though.
I would've bought them but the seller wasn't sure they would fit either. No replicas here dude.
Now i know for sure.

Nice blacked out grilles where did you get them?

Yes, thanks again. The wheels are original, no replicas. I have Falken tires. The whole setup was 2400 EUR. I'm from Estonia and I don't know what to do if you live in USA, I only know some places in Europe.

Blacked out grills I made by myself with 3M tape and hair-drier . It took about 2 hours to black out 2 grills and costed about 1 EUR for the tape.

I'm glad to help you if you have any other questions.
