NO, it because your current wheels gives your car the complete look, and thats what everyone wants.
Waste your $$$ in some other mods, I had the car for about 3 months now, and already but three different wheels
Third ones the lucky winner tho....

Is it because I would go for 19" instead of 20"?
Not all! Personally, I like the wheels that you have now more than the others.

But hey! It is your E60!! Don't listen to us!

New. Radenergie R10's. Have the centers painted a matte black. That would look SICK!

I tried putting a red stripe on one wheel on the other day and it was gorgeus. Ripped it off though...
I love my current rims too but on the other hand I would like to try a wheel with a lip. The best thing would be that I could keep them both, but it's a money issue. The Schmidts are pretty expensive .

I'd love Radenergies! But I think they're only available in 20". I might be wrong though...
And they really cost some money.

Well then if you want a different look get the new ones, if you are comfortable with the way the car looks now (and it looks fantastic) then keep the ones you have. A change of pace is never a bad thing.
