My Ride: 2005, E61 525i Touring, Black Sapphire Metallic, Dakota Leather, Steptronic Automatic, Pneumatic Self Leveling Rear Suspension, Panorama Glass Roof, PDC (Parking Distance Control front & Back), Navigation, HDTV, Bluetooth Voice Control, RunFlats, Electronically Retractable Side Mirrors, Xenon Adaptive Headlights, Autodim Rearview

Can someone tell me what brand wheels these are?
By the way, I like the look of the cars in these photos, are they all dropped or can a standard suspension car look like this with 19" wheels? Was worried about dropping the car as I like the comfortable ride I have now.

Also, MMafia posted this as Vision wheels in a recent post, but I couldn't find them on the Vision website. Any ideas?

The first in white with the 128's is droped the second in silver isn't the one with hte breytons is droped.. thats my guess anyway.. because with when I had my 20's before my drop it looked liek a 4x4 and I would think 19's would Almost look the same.. those look like they have a nice low sit to them.. BTW 128 are my fav BMW wheels those in a 21" mmmm

Thanks for the help guys! I currently have the stock 17" 138's

So far, I am trying to decide between these two above and the AC Schnitzer Type IV wheels below.

I also want to get the MTech Body kit for my E61 like the Apline white Touring in photo below, but I might actually skip the front bumper and keep it stock and just change the side skirts and the back bumper.

I was looking at the BMW wheel catalog for 2005 and it said for the 138 and 128 wheels "except E61 and M5". In other parts of the catalogue for other wheels there is also a reference to only such and such models.

I thought except the E61 and M5 would mean all of the 5 series can take those wheels except the E61 and M5? However, I have the 138s on my E61 so it must mean all of the models are exceptions and cannot use the 128s except the E61 and M5? Am I right?

By the way, what is so different about E61 that they can take certain rims that other 5-Series cannot take?
