After 1 1/2 years, I finally found a wheel design I really like. However, I would like to see a photo of them on an E60. I've only seen R 20's on a 6 Series...but before I commit I'd like to see them on an E60. I'm looking to get the 8.5 x 19 front, 10 x 19 rear. Anyone have them or know of E60 photos with them on?

Thanks!

ro11dice,

Thanks for the pics. It helps to see the 19" v.s. the 20", although I'm still searching for a pic of the R 20's with 20 spokes! I thought I drove by a 645 with the black and silver version...but I'd like to see an all silver version on a 545.

IMHO, i don't think it looks as gd as the R10.. if you like those thin spokes, try looking at the Hamann Anniversary wheels.. they are pretty nice

AriciU:

Thanks...I still think they're pretty nice and prefer them over the R10's. I also like the R 10's, but they're too common and many others look too similar. The R20's look like deep-dish Alpina wheels and a little more unique. I'll also check out the Hamann Anniversary's.

...just checked out the Hamann Anniversary I wheel...I still like the Redenergie R 20 better. The Hamann has 2 bolts between each spoke. I thought it looked a bit busy. The R 20's only have one. the R 20 has 20 spokes v.s. the Hamann's 18...for some reason it makes a difference to me, visually. Also the R 20's have deeper spokes that make them look like jet engine blades. ...still looking for a E60 with R 20's should anyone come upon any photos. Thanks!

I like the R20s over the Hamman Anniversary also. The R20s are deeper.

I should note though that the R20s are 2 piece wheels and are heavier than the R10 3 piece forged wheels. In case that matters to you.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen them on an e60. You might be the first!

Yeah, I really like them...despite the weight. I'm not too concerned about the weight...I've got too many tickets right now to be going too fast! Hopefully it does not affect the driving dynamics too much. I tried contacting a Radenergie distributor...but have not heard from them. I'm hoping they will even fit on an E60.
