I really like the way my 19's look, ride and handle but after a year of E60 ownership I've got the itch to change things up a bit. In years past it was about this time that I would sell my car and buy something else...but come on what else is there to drive


while I like the M-Kit that's not something I'll be doing...so maybe it's time for new wheels...and if I'm going with new wheels I figure might as well step it up an inch. I'm currently running 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 9.5 rear and if I were to change I would probably do a 20 x 10 and a 20 x 8.5 (or 9)

Maybe the Asanti 123 or HRE or??

You're not nuts ch7656, that was what i did to mine. Go for 20" and you will not regret it.

And as for your choice on your rims, go for the HREs.

Iforged has produced some new beautiful rims. And they are not as expensive as HREs too.
