I just got my '06 530i a couple days before thanksgiving. I figured two and a half weeks on the stock wheels was long enough 
. Here is a pic of my new 20" MRR GT-1 on Falken 452's. My camera battery died after the first pic, go figure. I'll post more soon.
Thanks to B2autodesigns for the wheels. He hooked me up with a great price.
And thanks to Jimlai322 for the tires. He had a used set of Falkens I bought from him.
***QUESTION*** Has anyone with this set up used wheel spacers to push the MMR GT-1 wheels out a tiny bit more? I've noticed that if I roll my fenders a little I probably have about 5-8 mm's of additional space. The current rear wheels are 20x10 et20 with Falken 452 275/30. Does anyone think I would be ok with a 5mm or 10mm spacer? Is anyone running a et10 or et15 on a 530i?? Thanks for any info!!
