My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
First things first: CALL CITY HALL and get them to fix that hole.
Otherwise, you're betting against yourself with even-lower profile tires. :'(

Ray Hull

NO, Im not going to put big brakes. i have always benn a fan of wheels with lip until the new generation BMWs, I think because they are rounder and larger in appearance the wheels with little lip or no lip look better.. 
My 19"hartge look the same if not samaller that a stock E60 18" sport package wheel as I noticed a few days back whil parked next to my car 
argeg descisions descisions..
Ifroged retail prices per wheel
Daytona 20x8.5 = $1129
20x10 = $1229 so $4716 just in wheels
Seneka 20x8.5 = $1057
20x10 = $1157 or $4428
I can not find prices for the classic 2s

Good luck and be carefull not to bend the new ones, or have a rim insurrance
PS. if you were here in EU I wud say go for the Hre or RE, but as you are in USA go for German Hartge or Hamann, not ACS...though.
I remember this here most ppl wear nikes and there also Adidas...
that is how it is!

I hate that DJ and am sorry. 
You car will be back to normal, or better, soon. 
Hartage, but I think you might want to look into wheel weights, as someone mentioned, to enhance performance or to at least keep it constant. Check out the BBS wheels in the Black Diamond finish--light, light, light.

thnkas guys, the hartge classic2s are growing on me more and more, specially everytime is keep staring at those M5 pictures, I whave a whole thread here to stare at if you like from the M5 boards in different colors...ENJOY! Lots of M5s with Hartge Classic 2s rims ... cant get prices thought as of yet, will find out tomorrow or soon as my original RFTs are really scaring me. Today someone pulled in front of me to cross to the other side about 15 (or less) feet of the car, the tires screech the whole way and were very impredictable. Handling just in normal turns that I usually make feels slugish and feels the car sliding, man need real tires soonnn.

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
The Hartge ones looks nice, but aren't they heavy?
I like the iForged Daytonas too, but a lot of ppl think they're kinda like HRE 841R wannabes...
What is too Americanish about those rims? Is it the big lip?
Do Europeans not like brands with big lips such as HRE?
As for the finish, they usually give you many choices (i.e. silver, polished, black, color, chrome, etc)

I'd go with the hartage...the others are too americanish in both styling and chrome or finish-ups.

My Ride: 335i Sedan
I would go with the iForged Daytonas also, even though they are might expensive, $4 grand in wheels alone. I say choose them over the hartges because of the finishes also
gunmetal, hyper white, hyper gunmetal!!! lol You should also check out the racing series section @ iforged.com, the vertex & equip rims are also very much but about $200 dollars cheaper.

yes I think I need to go for Forged wheels to aliviate the added weight and not hurt performance. After furtgher research the harge wheels Calssic2 weights A LOT!
9.5 x 21'' = 18kg 39.6lbs per wheel
10.5 x 21'' = 19 kg 41.9lbs per wheel
and for exmaple the Radernergie wheight a lot less
Radenergie R10's 8.5x19 (2.5lip) 26.5lbs
10x19 (4lip) 29.4lbs
Need to know the weight of the stock 18inch rims, does anyone know?
