That "rule book" is for your protection so you don't get bullied/flamed at the next meet! lol no im kidding, to each his own!

I think you're referring to these? no? They are pretty nice... but small.

Just found out the styke 5's come in a 18x9. I did a crude PS on to my car. I kinda like them. The actual wheels have more lip but i had to distort them to make the angles match.

I like that style as well. It might be classic, but it does look just fine on an E60/61!

My only gripe is that they might look too small only being 18" and all. The lip may make up for the lack of diameter. Looks like the typical price for a set of 18"s with meaty tires is $1,200-1,500. Not bad for a set of BBS' when you consider people are getting $2k for 16" w/o tires.
