Hey, I cannot decide on what type of wheel to get. I like the look of the staggered deep dish with a lip look but not sure what wheel to get. I also like the look of the 166 and 220 styles. I am riding style 124 with winter tires at the moment and my summer ones are still the orignial 138s. I know I want 19", thats for sure. Now it is matter of finding one I want to commit too. Any suggestions modders?

I've had both deep dish 20s and style 172 currently and i like both. Just scan the site and look for cars with each then decide. I'm actually waiting for Acute Performance to get me some pics of DPEs with lip in 19" to see if they'll look right, because normally the rule is lip=20s and no lip =19s.
Just make sure before you pull the trigger, wheels are an expensive habit!
Good luck.

Thanks for for the tips! I hear ya about the trigger thing. It is difficult to decide!! I have been looking at pics and I like the lips!

below is a pic of my car with 19's staggered with lip, check it out see what you think. Its really a personal preference. The no lip look is really starting to grow on me and I'm beginning to consider going to 18's in the winter with no lip, that way I have the best of both worlds so to speak. I really like the matte black forgestar f14 look for a no lip wheel.

Nice lips!! GsQ, what rims are those? Sizes? Offsets? Nice clean look!!

I like what u said cleung about the winter rims and the "best of both worlds". My 124s are fine for the no lip affect!! Okay, I think i need some sexy lips for summer! Now to find them for a wonderful low price!! Finding rims in Canada for a 5 series is like a needle in a hay stack! For a 3 series, no problems there! To order from the US, it will kill me in customs, duty and taxes!

I was kinda torn too. I liked the lip on my previous rims, but if I'm gonna go no lip I think it looks awesome concave. I dig my miros but next will probably go deep dish if I get another set of rims, and they will be perfectly flush.

If your wheels are 20" or greater...Lip

If your wheels are 19" or less...No Lip
