They are 19s. I was always a fan....until I saw them mounted. They look kinda small IMO. But the car needs a proper drop too. Not my car, a guy selling these on Ebay and the forum I think.

Not bad but they would suit E39 more IMO

They are ok. The 3-piece look without a real lip is kinda weird to me.

They are a good looking wheel, but that thick lip does make them look a little too small IMHO
