tired of riding 20's, been thinking to buy another set with smaller size..
will 19" rides better than 20"?? my current wheel spec is 20x8.5 245/35 front, 20x10 275/30 rear.
and then i found this 2 sets both are used & fit my budget..

"style 121 - 6 series 8,5 x 19 Front 9 x 19 Rear"


"style 95 - 7 series 9 x 19 Front 10 x 19 Rear"


guys which one will look better on our e60???

Both look nice but I would go for style 95!

What size tyres were you thinking for the new wheels?

I drive 245/40 R18 all around at winter time and 245/35 R19 all around at summer, and I can't feel much difference between them, so I think you could go with the 19". On the other hand, if you went with 245/35 R19, the sidewall would be exactly as high/low as with your 20" now, and I can't tell would you feel any difference in comfort.
