I got a great deal on some 121s (19" 6 series ellipsoid sport wheels) and put 'em on my e60 last night. I will use them for my summer wheels and my ETA/BETA wheels in the winter. As soon as I get the chance, I'll snap a pic. I just wanted to share an upgrade!

I prefer the before wheels... I never really liked the 6-Series rims. But to each his own.

You're not going to love my answer, but I was never really a fan of those 6 series wheels. But hey, I still like your avatar picture!

So far, I see the 121s are not a fan favorite. :thumbsdown: I wasn't sure if I'd like 'em either, but they are growing on me. I have the other wheels for the winter. Over the winter, I may have these painted/powder coated.

What do you guys think, black, matching blue with the car, leave them silver?

LOL! Thanks C for the avitar prop!
