Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy set of wheels+tires, but I'm between 19" Beyern mesh and Volk racing TE37.
I heard that TE37 are really light and good quality, but never heard anything about beyern.
Do they make good wheels?
I have an 08 535i (LCI), so what size (offset) do i need for my car?
Thanks in advance for all ur help!

Also, which tires are good?
I'm not thinking of spending too much.
Maybe around $1500 on tires?
thanks

For less expensive tires but still good quality:
Falken FK452
General Exclaim UHP
If you can afford it:
Michelin PS2
Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2
I like Volks. They are very strong and pretty rare on BMWs. Mind if I ask where you're getting them from?

What color is your car. It think you should get the Volk TE37 in bronze if you have a black car. Check this thread out http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...l=bronze+wheels

also you are talking about cast (beyern) vs forged (volk)
forge will always be stronger and by leaps and bounds. It is also much lighter for 19-20 inch wheels.
forged wheels in 19's are around 21 lbs where as cast can be around 50 lbs
