I am going to install the OEM M-tech bumpers with M5 mirrors in my E60 550i (white). I am undecided between two wheels. I have search the web but would like feedback. Thanks.

Something I forgot to ask. Can I use the same M5 OEM tire size? It is bigger and can protect my wheel and have better road comfort. OR do I use my actual tire size (245/35 and 275/30 19")?

Im on my 3rd set of rims and have to say my AG's are the best looking, cleanest and most suitable to the car. These are 20's 8.5 & 10 with 245/35 f 285/30 r Love the look and rarely a rub. Id go with your first choice. let us know what you decide.

I like them both, it's hard to go wrong with either type.
