I like the rims, just not convinced they are the ideal type/design for the 5er.
The Alpina Classics in 20" (and NOT the 19s!!) are a definite yes.
You could approach an Alpina dealer and ask them to mount them on one side so you could see what they look like on a 5er
Here are some pics to help you get a feel for what the look like, however I could only find pics of the rims on 3ers.
As a point of reference, I have also included the B5 S on 20" Alpina Classics (-- they are not the 19s -- the 19s look more like 18s!!)
Alpina D3 in all shapes...
B5-S on Alpina Classic 20"...
