Is there a big difference with 19" and 20" staggered rims when mounted on a sport package e60? Mostly in looks.. is it noticeable ????

This is not really a "yes or no" question, is it?

Let's get into some more specifics - do you have any particular 19s and 20s that you'd like to compare? I mean, I can give you a simple "yes" to your question, but I have a feeling you'll remain perplexed.

Yes, there is a difference. The 20" have 1" more metal across the wheel than the 19". I can't tell the difference.

What are you talking about? Keep your crass off topic comments to yourself!

Back to the topic, lips look better with bigger wheels. Ride will deteriorate, less protection from potholes, and tires will cost more.

Also, with 20" rims, you run more risk of tires rubbing the inside of your fenders if you lower your car.
