My Ride: 2006 M5 Black Sapphire on Black with Walnut Madeira Wood
Has anyone had any experience using wheel adapters to convert from 5x120 to 5x114?
I saw a nice wheel with pattern of 5x114 and was wondering if anyone has any experience
if they are dangerous also while I am asking does anyone know about Modulare M2 wheels?
I was looking and saw a 20" for sale but doesn't say the offset...
I have a E60 M5 and want to know if that would fit my car...

Personally, I don't think it should matter whether it's a "japanese" or "german" wheel and actually prefer a lot of the styles presented from Japanese wheel makers.
In terms of the adapters, they shouldn't present a big problem as long as they are installed correctly. For me though, I would rather make it easier for myself and just stick with a wheel that comes with the proper bolt pattern to begin with.
It is your car, so do as you please with it and enjoy it!

oh i didnt meant japanes or german wheels... i meant as japanese wheel bolt pattern...
after i was thinking i dont know how it is going to work... e60 are hubcentric and if bolt pattern is differnt then it wont be no longer hubcentric which means you have to get a one that is you have to use lug nuts instead of bolts... which means you might have have to get good set of lug nuts with good locks...
but i really dont recommand it...

Thanks for you input I guess it's better to stick with the original bolt patterns...
