welcome. no offense or anything, but be patient for replies man. anyway, wheels look awesome. i like 
and in my opinion from looking at the pics, it doesnt look like you have that much of a gap. it looks good as is. but if you desire to drop it, go for it. eibach is a good 1.2" drop all around, and h&r is the more popular with e60s and the more common. good luck.

Thanks for the advice...Guess I'll be moving strictly to bimmerforums now....
but if you decide to stay you will soon seen this site is very helpful and imformative..
as for your springs.. id personally go H&R but everyone has their own opinion but the best brest springs are either H&R or eibach so you can't go wrong..

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
look nice, as said before, gap doesn't look too prominent.
I do have Eibachs on my M-sport with 20's and although excellent in the handling department, they didn't seem to lower any further, really.
Thinking of changing them for H&R's myself. Eibach is very conservative with their drop figures.
And before I forget, good things come to those that can wait.

Doesn't look like it needs much of a drop to me. Rims are ok. You did ask, so don't try to tear me a new one for expressing what I think.
Off topic: but what is with these new kiddy members? Get off your high horse, you're just another E60 owner like us. Just because you put on new rims doesn't mean we will be bowing down to you, and replying like mad as if you were the second coming of Jesus Christ. You want that kind of attention, post on E90post, lots of kiddy hyenas over there refreshing the new post button waiting to reply "OMGGGGGG LOVE UR RIMS *BOW ICON*"

Whoa, this thread is starting to get a little ugly. I think the wheels look awesome, but then again I'm biased since I have the same ones. What's the next mod you've got planned?
