My Ride: 545i titanium silver, sport package, premium package.
Pretty much decide on the style 128 19" wheels with new Toyo T1-R or Michelin PS2 but then the tire guy showed me The Beyern line of 20" wheels. So now I am considering bigger wheels
The Beyern line comes in 20"x8.5 for the front so it will use 245/30-20 rubber and the rear 20"x10 wheel with 295/25-20 rubber. I have the 545i sport will the rears fit without rub?
Also which would you guys choose? Do you think the Beyerns look cheap? they are more affordable than the BMW 128s.
Thanks

I'm hot and cold on this topic...IMHO I feel that all the BMW OEM rims, for the price, look the best. Don't get me wrong, Hamann, Alpina, etc. all make beautiful rims, but for the price, you can go wrong with good 'ol OEM.
Check out this site - they seem to have really good prices on OEM rims: BMW Wheels.

IMHO...photo 1...too old school might look better on an older 5...and the second picture the spokes are a bit thin...the wheel to my eye doesn't look stout enough for the E60. Just my subjective opinion...but that's what you asked for

It's the closest to the Z8's wheels which is probably one of the ones without a photo. Thanks for the link!
