I was over a Fields BMW tonight getting brake sensors replaced on the 330xi and they have a E90 project car sitting there with these fantastic looking wheels. At first glance I thought the car was an E60.

BMW style 179 starspoke wheels, 19" staggered 8" front 9" rear. I think they would look great on an E60. Has anyone here mounted them on an E60?

I found what seems to be a Swedish brochure, looks like the main pic in an E60 with the 179's. I like them a lot.
