I'm considering changing my summer wheel setup and these two Schmidt wheel designs came up. How do you like them, which one would suit (my) e60 better. They're available in wanted offsets.
Then another question. Do I really need 20" rims if going for a lip? If I went to 20", there definitely will be the extra rubber on wheels also. But if that requires rolling fenders etc, I'm not so sure about it then...
Anyway, here are the wheels:
Schmidt Phantom Line
Schmidt Jack Line
Thanks for your opinions!

The Phantom looks sick! IMO, with this design, the 19" would look a lot smaller, get the 20". GL, bro!

If I had it to do over again, I would still get 20s, but I would go with a 235/35 in front and a 265/30 in back. Won't have to worry about rolling the fenders at all, and the diameter is closer to stock. However, you will end up with a tiny bit of stretch on the tires, but no rubbing for sure.
Schmidts are money. I just sold a set of 16" TH Lines and they pretty much covered the cost of my 20" Miros.

They are both nice, but I prefer the Phantoms!
