I like the 167s better as well, but these still look decent for sure.

Also, these style wheels need 20s as others have stated. 19s look to small on these busy designs. Maybe a powdercoating satin black will change the look!

You really like those tires? What are you comparing them to? Not to be argumentative, just never thought them as a performance tires.

What rear spoiler is that? edit: duh i see it
Thanks!! I was comparing them to the sumitomo's I had before and also the run flats that came with the 335 wheels I was running. The same bumps to and from work are not as harsh with these tire, it seems like they have a softer compound than the ones I previously had.

I will vouch for that since I have your old wheels. I really don't like the sumi's at all but I will go with something different in the future. I hope I don't bend these wheels like you did...

I like these wheels, but like most, I agree they are too small. Lip - you've gotta go 20 or bigger on E60. No lip - you can get away with 19s.

Still, I like them and possibly, if you powdercoat them black of gunmetal, they'll actually look even better on your car - but try to see it in PS first.

Good going, mang!

I hope not either, I had no luck with those Miro's. It seems like everytime I see the pothole, I hit the pothole.

BTW - I have 2 spare rears if you want them, 1 is cracked and can be fixed and the other has a little bit of rash and it was also cracked but I got it fixed.

Thanks Vlad .. I might change yet wheels again before this season is over.

Those wheels are absolutely NOT too small for that car!
I like the contrast between the dark car and those alloys
