I just wanted to share the pics (yes from my phone) of my cars new look:

Special thanks to MAG75 and AWG for helping convince me these could look sick on the car an they do - LOOK AT THAT FRIGGIN LIP!!!

I picked up this set this weekend 19" Style 125 wheels with Michelin pilot Sports (possibly he best tire EVER, grip like you wouldn't believe)

THAT is definitely on the menu, a good 1.5" drop would make it look perfect (oh, and M5 brake kit ASAP)

Might be the best looking rims I have seen on an e60!!!

I might be a little biased being that I have the same rims. A drop does wonders...
I wanted to stick with OEM wheels preferably, and these are different - I like that. I also discovered the added benefit of an incredibly DEEP lip - it's HUGE!!! Add to the setup those tires, and DAMN does it handle a lot better.
