Hey all

I am looking at getting new wheels for my e60. can anyone give me some reccomendations on some 19" wheels between the price range of 200 and 300 dollars each.

Thanks

I have my eye on some breytons GTS Race, but I have not seen them on a E60 yet. If you have pictures of the setup that would be great.

Paulie, i need you to remember something. YOU BOUGHT A BMW - why are you putting a 200 dollar wheel on this car?? You pay for what you get for the most part. I would say dont even put a 19in wheel that cost 200 dollars on your beeeeemer!

Just my 2 cents

alright, sorry paulie man.

Heres a wheel with a decent sized lip, 7 spoke with a lot of design.

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseU...&sort=Brand

This is a 19in wheel for 265 per. This is right in the middle of your range.

/edit:

HOLLY SHEE these wheels are on close out for 169. Paulie get these while you still can!!

Your welcome

Go with a BMW OEM style wheel - M5, M6 or 172's. They just look right on the car. Never really been in to chrome/big lip wheels on a BMW.

Just my 2 cents
