Work wheels usually take that long to make.

Now that you ordered them I'll say it was a bad decision and you should have gotten something else.

Honestly, I don't think the poke look is right for the E60. It's probably just me but I associate that with the VW/Audi crowd and on smaller cars. Also, you stayed with 19s probably due in part to getting better ride quality over 20s but that's only true if your tires aren't so thin.

ive seen it done before and as long as its not super poke it looks pretty good imho, i went with 19's cuz 20's were a lot more and same thing for tires

ironically though the best tires for stretching a lil bit are falken 452 lol

i made such a hissy fit over not getting those but im still trying to find something a bit better than those.

I can however get them in those sizes for $632 shipped and mounted and balanced for free
