I have TOYO Proxes 4 on my e60 530i, and I cannot believe how well the handle, and no road noise, and I believe your T-1's are the step above my Proxies 4, and no telling how good they are!
Tell me how do you like them? Those 128's are BMW OEM's correct? By the way I like your Bimmer!

PS, I got the latest tecnolgy in radar deviecs from Excort and I hve noitced the local GA law enforcment officers are no using POP band sop much to catch speeders, but now using laser!
I own a Passport 8500 with POP Band and laser, but my laser works well but I do not think going off at 200-300 feet will give me enough notice to slow down if speeding!
By the way I see you have lazer tecnoogy radar dectector,,, how do you like it? I am considering upgrading my Passport with the additional lazer protection unit that fits some where under my hood and used in conjuction with my 8500 with "POP" as its base. Do you know anything about Escort lazer units, or is yours a stand alone unit?

Looks great, congrats! 128's are the best looking OEM's

Great choice, heli_ca
!The 128 is one of the wheels that really accentuates the size of the 19" wheel, as it really stretches out from the center. Imo, the E60 needs such a big wheel.
That's the reason why I am having the standard 135's (18"), delivered with the M-Sport package, changed. 6 nights of little sleep to go...
Btw, cannot see it on the picture, but did you put any wheel spacers?

[/quote]The T1-R replaces the T1-S.
What I have for the laser jammer is the Blinder system, it is a stand alone system in addition to my bel65 windshield mount detector. As a matter of fact the lazer jammer went off for the first time today. I had saw the cop setup in the other direction and I turned around just to test it and it worked for the first time ever, the policeman just smiled and shook his head in acknowlegement.
