My Ride: 2011 M3 Competition Package, 2006 M5
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Installing OEM M5 mirrors on Monday and Vossen CV4 matte graphite (20 x 9 and 20 x 10.5) on Tuesday or Wednesday because they were ordered. (My local store was out of stock). Will post pictures hopefully next week.
The picture below is not my actual car, just one I found and photoshoped. My car has already M-Tech kit installed.

I had to install OEM M5 wheels (style 166) because the Vossen 20" didn't fit due tech issues regarding tire size and front shocks (Bilstein sport). It was possible to install the Vossen but I am more happy with my 166 wheels. I saw them both installed and M5 wheels looks much better IMAO.
Used same tire (245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear). I will try later on another tire size because I would like more skin, both for protection and comfort. Size I will try are: 255/35/19 (1.21%) Front and 285/30/19 Rear (0.60%). Percent is the difference from my stock tire size (18").
Will post photos later on; after all upgrades. Here's my front wheel.
