Something about 'em just doesn't look right to me. Maybe I'd like them in 19". The style seems to make the wheel look bigger than it is.

hope it turns out good for ya. I think they'll look ok just as long as your E60 isn't black.

Good, you chose to be a little different, congratulations - the car does look good, the wheels are not quite my taste, but they do look good

They look much better on the car. Not my preference, but still a very clean (and different) look. Glad you're happy with your choice. SBrown712 you got a drop on your car?

Second, I wanted to ask you if you have any rubbing issues with these sizes?
Yup...those are the wheels Tango had on his 7.

The guy at the wheel shop was supposed to send me pics but I haven't gotten then yet so I will post then as soon as I get them. Here is the wheel again.




I got thumbs up from two other BMW drivers on my way home and the wheels are the only thing different on my car so I'm thinking they must look pretty darn good. I like them and I'm glad I went against the grain and got something different. Now, anybody want to buy some 123s with good tires on them?

Congrats!! as long as you like em ..who cares what the hell everyone else thinks !

I was expecting it to look worse. It is not that bad actually. Just not my cup of tea. Did you lower the car too?

Not lowered yet other than sports package. Not much room to lower with the 9" front wheels. I am already rubbing a little bit on some bumps in the road.

I almost walked away from the wheels but the deal was too good to pass up. I really wanted something with a lip but I am happy with what I chose. It is kind of nice to see other cars with the wheels, makes me feel a little more accepted.
