Okay so i've got my car in the shop getting the mtech kit put on and now focusing on getting some rims and tires. Based off of reading other posts, 19s with a lip will look small so would have to go with 20s. If no lip, than 19s should be okay. Would love to get the radenergie rs10s but not looking to spend that much. Around $2k is my budget. Show me what you guys recommend and with pics if you have them please.

On a side note, i'm currently running dunlop DZ101s and its getting louder and louder as they wear down. I'm the second owner of the vehicle so never experienced what the tire noise sounded like with the factory oem tires. From what i've read, our cars come with an aggressive alignment that causes the tires to wear in a manner that causes more tire noise. Is this correct and if so can I get the alignment specs changed to where I can reduce this along with possibly different tires that are not as loud?

Thanks for any answers you guys can provide!

For your wheel budget I would go with OEM M5 wheels. They just look great on these cars IMO.
