Many E-60 owners are opting for new larger wheels for their car. Lets see what the forum prefers.

first choice 166, second 172 if leaving the same brakes. If you can afford a BBK then 167 is much nicer. 167s without BBK show empty space behind them.

if i didnt have my 128s, from that list i would probably choose the 166s after seeing delje08's e60, but then a lot of e60s having those wheels would keep crossing my mind. next choice would be 167s, then next a nice suitable aftermarket set. just my opinion.

166 for light color cars
167 for dark color cars

but if you go 20s, spend more than 4k on wheels for the strong/lightweight ones.


edit: i noticed your car is monaco blue. look at mikebuzzsaw's pics for 167s http://forums.e60.net/index.php?automodule...si&img=7768
