Okay, if I were to get wheels with lip, I would start at 20" and higher. I wouldn't go with 19" nor 18" wheels with lip. 19" wheels and smaller shouldn't have lips. These kind of wheels don't look right on an e60.

in my opinion i dont like those at all.. well i think the point is that with 19'' wheels and lower with lips, the focus is mostly on the center, and the center itself looks smaller compared to other 19'' wheels without a lip. you lose about an inch or 2 with the lip. like those rims from a 6 series and with rims like 19'' 166s or mine 128s (not trying to be a showoff or anything) since there is no lip and the spokes extend to the end of the rim, they look pretty big and could even be mistaken as 20s by others.

A staggered set-up is basically just for look.

Anyhow, if you already have the TSWs, put them on and if you'd like, upgrade to the 166s or whatever else later on.
