Ok, my new wheels are not maybe the choice of most people here, but I like them, and I have never seen them in a E60.
They're about to be installed on monday, and I will post some pics then.

I chose HANKOOK Ventus V12 Evo K110 tyres in 245/35 size. It's going to be a non-staggered setup.
The wheel specs are 8,5" x 19" ET 14 all-round. Oh yeah, and it's a perfect fit with 72,56mm hub bore.

Even though no one would care, I dare to post a teaser pic :


Can't wait the monday !

I hope you didn't buy them then

I ended up with these rims after a LONG search. I wanted something like 166's, 19" and a something black.
That's why these hit me! Only thing that got me thinking was the fact, that they're all black. Well, we will see...
I really like those Breyton Race GTS's, but they are a bit too expensive for me.

Now they are on! And me likes !

I'm used to have my wheeljobs (sounds dirty) done in a local Toyota dealer, because I know they know how to do it .
Very minimal amount of weights were needed, and there isn't ANY vibration at all!

After a twenty kilometers or so I can say that the ride comfort is the same or even better with these 19" Hankook tires
than my previous 18" Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31's. Both are non-runflats.

Here are some pictures. Sorry about the lousy environment, I had to take pics fast because it was starting raining.

Enjoy it / Hate it !















ps. Don't tell me about lowering...
