Hey Medflt... this is Black530e60, in Canal Winchester (changed my screen name since I don't have a 530 any longer). Yes they're 20's. Glad to hear you pulled the trigger. Did you go with the 19's or did you change your mind?

The whole car is a shark.
Howitzer... just replied to your PM!

The vents are my next project (my god it never ends).... They look so killer! I won't put the M5 badge on there, though. I don't want to get keyed by some freak enthusiast! Also, I love that you put the BMW Roundels on the Miro 111's. Looks very classy and more OEM.

You have a 550, too. I'm so jealous. You know if you get an RPi exhaust (get quads though) your car would sound so so so so so badass that 95% of the general population wouldn't even have a clue it wasn't an M5? DO IT!!! hahaha

Ha! If you look at my signature, you can see that I HAD the RPI exhaust but it is crossed off. I had it for less than 2 weeks. Loved the sound, on the outside, but was just a little too loud on the inside, when driving around clients, etc... If I had a separate business car, I'd still have the RPI!

Wow, your car looks great! Those Miro 111's look awesome!

Ok guys, I need your help. I was ready to pull the trigger on the Miro 111's, only the 19" setup. Now, I'm wondering if I should go with 20". What do you think? I too use my car to drive business clients and I didn't want something that is too rough.

Go 19s, people have asked me if I have 20's because the concave makes them look bigger.

I vote for 20's. I'm on sport suspension like you are and I don't recognize any difference in ride quality. I had 19" Axis Milanos, on my 530, w/ H&R sport springs... now that was a rough ride (because of the springs). Also, a few days ago a vendor posted pics of 111's, labeled them as 20's (by mistake) and everyone picked up on it (that they were really 19's) and the vendor realized his error and corrected. What I'm saying is you can definitely tell the difference. Don't get me wrong, the 19's will still look great! But, if you're considering 20's, you may have buyer's remorse with the 19's.

Where did you end up getting your wheel set? I'm considering this as well. Thanks.
