I am going to get new wheels soon and would like your opinion. I have narrowed it down to one of these two. Price is about the same. They will be 19" silver.
You all know the Miro 111:



#2: the TSW Snetterton:



I am still leaning towards the Snetterton simply because I haven't seen it on another E60. But there may be a reason for that? Someone made the comment on another thread that the 19" doesn't look that good with a lip but I do see a lot of 19" wheels with a pretty big lip. One thing that I have considered doing is to get the barrel of the wheel powder coated matte black where the spokes would stand out more.

I promise I won't ask about this again.
TIA

Can you get the TSW in 20? Cuz honestly, I like them better, but 19s won't look big enough with a lip.

Good idea on black inner barrels either way btw

I vote for the Miros

mainly since there is no lip for the looks, and for the concavity.

Are the Miro 111's staggered ?

Anyone know the offsets for the 111's ???

Thanx in advance.

Well it looks as though you've already decided on the Snetterton's as they are mentioned in your sig, so I'm not sure what the vote is for. Besides, the wheels are pretty similar, so it really seems to come down to Lip or No Lip! Good luck with your decision and post pix when you've got them!

yes they are staggered. 19s staggered would be ET15 and ET20 for non-XI e60s, and 20s would be ET18 all around.
