I've been having trouble deciding on rims too, I thought I was set on the Maya's rt5 however they were on backorder now at my local Maya dealer. These look nice, and they are pretty inexpensive (they are cast vs. the 2/3 piece wheel). Here are the specs I got so far, for our e60 I was looking in a staggered setup, 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. The offset for the front is +20 and the rear is +22. Don't have the weight on them yet.

Edit: the weight on the 20x8.5 are 28lbs.

I have a question for people, I know that 3 piece rims are stronger and usually lighter, but is there going to be any drawback if I get these rims instead? Aren't OEM rims cast wheels also? Also, here is the other problem I'm facing, at the local dealer I can get Pirelli p-zeros, 245/30/20 for the front (which is 25.85dia) and 285/25/20 (which is 25.61dia) for the rear, however tirerack suggests Michelin pilot ps2 255/30/20 (which is 26.02dia), and 295/25/20 (which is 25.80dia) for the rears. FYI OEM on my 530i is 225/50/17 (which is 25.85dia). The local shop guy was saying 295/25/20 is too wide of a tire, however tirerack says it should be ok (I kind of trust tirerack more since the have more experience on this), also I believe that the Michelins are better tires than the Pirellis, also the Michelins rear size is closer to oem dia.

I'll appreciate everyone's input.

Thanks!

 

Wow you got some nerve commenting on the rims I have for sale in the classifieds section. These wheels right here are worth 100 bucks and you have the nerve to say:

"i think most of those rims not match wit our car~ its not cause its chrome, i love chrome wheels~ but those designs no.... "


FORGED 3 PIECE WHEELS VERSUS ZENETTI WHEELS???? Wow. These rims right here look like garbage and belong on a damn honda.

come on man~ ur rims r ugly~ dont u have eyes? look at those pictures u uploaded~accept it!!!! i wont even put them if i get them for free~ waste of tires~dont get angry cause people hate ur ugly rims~ it aint my fault~ those rims belong no where~~ i dont no quality of zenetti but i saw them on tv shows, and they make e60 kits also. anyway i decided look for other ones but im sure its none of ur ugly ass ones~~

 

L M A O !!

Listen kid, for one with grammar like that I find it hard to believe you even are old enough to drive. "How do u guyz think abou this rim?" IS THAT EVEN A COMPLETE SENTENCE? I read your posts; you have yet to have a complete sentence with nouns and verbs. I bet your 17, you wear Fubu, and your comming on here acting like you own something you dont.

SECOND, you dont know nothing about wheels because your asking about Zenetti. You want to jump on the bangwagon and hate on wheels thats cool, I dont own them anyways and im not in love with them. But your such a damn idiot your asking about zenetti wheels. I could careless who hates on wheels THAT I DO NOT OWN. I find it funny that a 17yr old makes foolish comments about something that has far more quality then something he wants and on top of that its like you dont know english! I MEAN READ YOUR POSTS BUDDY, YOUR NOT EVEN 18YRS OLD. WOW

 

L M A O Y O U D O N O T O W N A 525

 

ha ha~~lookng for complete sentence?? guess u r over 70yrs old~~ sorry for wrtng like this~~ enjoy rest of ur life in peace~~~

 

See man, you dont even make sense. I found out you do not own an E60 and you are well under 18 years of age. I dont get why you would come here and lie to try to impress a bunch of guys. Come on man you cant even spell neither lol read everything you have typed on this forum.

 

Xexyus,

Man just ignore him. We don?t need people here that are going to be putting people down or there choice of style or taste. :thumbsdown:


So in other words forget him, and let?s talk about some E60?s.

Bump again since this tread got a little side tracked. I would like some input from people. Thanks again!

THe michelins Pilot Sport A/S are a bit better than the Pirelli P zero. The catch is that there is quite a difference in price. Is the Michelin worth it? I think not. I've had the Micjelin in the past and I'm running the Pirellis now. I'd take tirerack's advice on the tiresize. I did and was quite pleased.

 

xexyus, he's actually 22 years old. You can see it under his profile. Well, both of you should stop the argument.. everyone has their own preferences. And pls keep this forum away from such conflicts.
