My Ride: 2006 530xi (Titanium Grey/ Black interior) Debaged, L.e.d. light upgrade throughout. ACS roof spoiler. H&R sport sprigs, Angel eye upgrade, euro sticker, ,matte black grills.
Well, the springs . I cut a full loop on the back and 1 1/2 loops in the front roughly. It drives almost the same. a bit bouncier than stock but you have to remember....They're H&R's, so the bounce will be there. I want to just drop the front a lil more so it tucks in.. But with the rims, the bounce is gone. Drives like a normal car on 20's.
As for the rims. The lack of concave is because the xi offset is higher....Making any xi wheels more out, away from the rotor. Overall, I love em. I wanted the miro 935's but they said i couldn't run staggard 20's and i really didnt want to run 19's so.. Tada!
For the price of the total set up. I can't complain. I got a great deal. Thanks for all the comments. And anyone with an xi, don't be scared, just shop around. There is always an option for US.
I'm going to try to get a 4 inch lip in the back on my car next year. The rim shop by me set 3 1/2 is the biggest but i'm doing research now. Wish me luck..

I have searching for these in 20" but have been only able to locate them in 19" or 21". Where did you get them in 20"? Also, do they have them in 20" in a staggard setup for the non-XI??? Thanks

Hello!
The wheels look ok, what i miss is, that they arent concave like the oem 128s...

I found the wheels on ebay for a 3 series set up. Its hard to find them in 20's for the regular 5 but they're out there. Keep looking. Mine are non staggard. 20x8 all around. I would do 21's on yours. It would look great.

You should consider Umnitza as well.
