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?

Just make sure before you pull the trigger, wheels are an expensive habit!
Good luck.

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.
