Dang Melvin, this is a tough ass decision. I've been pondering what I'd do and I still don't know.

What would you do if you were in my place:

Option 1
Buy the 20" LM's and sell the 19" LMs. End of story.

Option 2
Pass on the 20" and keep the 19" LMs. I also have an opportunity to purchase an almost new set of 20" Radenergie R10's. The price of the of the R10's would be the difference I have to pay to upgrade from 19" to 20" LMs. I just about get 2 sets of wheels for the price of the 1 set of 20" LMs.

Your thoughts?
1) your thread title is dead accurate

2) seek help, I wonder if Dr Drew takes wheel addicts

3) Keep the 19 LM's

4) Get the 20 R10's and swap back and forth when you get bored with what you are running

And we KNOW you are going to get bored...

No kidding Simon. It's still shoes, just now the "shoes" are for the ride.

I like the look of 20s better on our car especially since the LM is a steplip wheel. Get the 20s or go Option 3.

Michael
haha of course there is ALWAYS an option 3 Michael, if not now, in the future. Once I figure this situation out I'll get back to you about my next mod.

Hmm.. you may be onto something there Gene, but then again, you're talking to a guy who got 2 sets of 19" LM's because I couldn't figure which color to keep..

you crazy foo!
haha I just recently sold 1 set of the LM's locally. If/when I get rid of the 166's I know where they'll be going. Plus I also have an spare set of the standard non sport E60 wheels. (I forget but I think they're the OEM 123s? Anyone want to buy these?)

I ain't the crazy foo with the fast as f*ck M5 buddy!

Ok I got it, like that one dude who was selling two different wheel models for each side of the car, run the 19'' LMs on one side and the 20'' Rad's on the other. Problem solved.

Dude where do you store all of these wheels haha. I have to use my parent's garage for mine and they're not the happiest campers about it.

Hahahaha, Ross has come up with a good idea it seems.

But yeah, I would not know where to keep all the parts if I were in his "shoes"

Thus far, I have pretty much chucked all the OEM parts, lol.
