After approx. 6 LONG weeks waiting for them to come in, I finally got my iForged Daytonas (Brushed Aluminum) put on.
Front: 20x8.5 - 3''Lip - 245/35/20
Rear: 20x10 - 4''Lip - 275/30/20
Didn't get a chance to take too many pics b/c I had to make the drive home, here's a few though...what do you guys think? Think I should get a small drop or no?

I already told your big brother I thought your wheels were very sporty and classic looking at same time. One of the best wheels I've seen yet on a 5er. I think these may have persuaded some 6er owners to take a hard look at these as a good choice.

Ride is great in my opinion. The front rubs a tiny bit whenever i go over a bump in the road, but barely. Tires look great, wanted to get 285/30 in the rear but iForged recommended 275 & the shop i got my wheels installed at told me 285 in the rear would rub. I have Bridgestone Potenza's

Your big brother plastered your rims over in the e63 bimmerfest forum. It was pretty unanimous that everyone liked the rims. I'd sure like to have two big brothers like yours.

Unfortunately, I'm the big brother in mine and I do what I can to take care of my younger brothers. Oh, nice rims by the way...
