Somebody here in Los Angeles (wheel and tire dealer) advertised in the recycler a set of brand new 20" M6 replicas for the E60, along with new Falken tires for $1400. I tried to get him down to $1200, but gave me his best price at $1300. I thought about it long and hard and in the end I decided I want OEM wheels.

$1400??i find that price hard to believe.I just purchased a set with the new model Falkens from a company called getyourwheels.com for $2000.Are you sure they wern't 18" wheels?

245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rear

works out the correct rolling radius and should clear nicely.

Positive. I e-mailed him to confirm. His name is Peter. But the ad is gone from recycler.com, so I'm not sure if it was sold. I would have gotten them, but wasn't completely impressed by them. I'm going for non-replica for my next set of wheels (genuine after market or OEM).
