I am getting new 20's Rims from Ebay, but who should I contact about installing the rims ?

I mean, isnt installing BMW tires and RIMS different than other cars ?

I recommend 19's. Any decent tire shop can install the rims. There is nothing special about putting rims on a BMW.

Well the wheels of an E39 may easily fit on an E60 but you need to make sure you have the correct HUB ring for it. The HUB is the little circle thing in the middle of your rim. Also you need to make sure the offset of the wheels are tihin the guidelines of the E60.. do some search to find those... just my 2 cents
