My Ride: '05 BMW 530i
Hey guys, I have a '05 530i jet black. And I am really confused on what wheels to pick..
First it was either 19" M167's or the Asanti 20" AF120s.
I narrowed it down, and I think I really want the AF120's but with black gloss finish and chrome lip. The AF120's come chrome unless you order them from Asanti... I was thinking about picking up a used pair and getting them painted gloss black at a pro wheel shop...
Other rims I might take into consideration are:
360 Forged Mesh Eight or VIP Modular VR05's. What you guys think? I am not really a "chrome person" that's why I prefer black.
M-TECH Kit is sitting in the garage waiting to be installed next week or so..
I have searched numerous threads on the boards, a lot of the members here have some really nice wheels, I made this thread thinking there might be a few different brands with the similar style I want that I do not know about.
Also 20" or 22"s? I think I want to stick with 20's

Good luck with your decision.. but definitely go with 20s.. 22s would be overkill...

Go with some Radenergie R10s. 
BTW, from your handle, I assume you're from San Jose? Let me know so I can add you to our NorCal members thread for upcoming events: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...0&start=120
