I have a 525i 2006 BMW. Black.
I am looking for "20s Rims black on black, with tires.
How much should I spend ?
And does anyone have any good sites that sells them?
Do I need to have Run Flat Tires or what ?
Will the Run Flat System still work ?

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
If you go 20", the correct tyre size conversion will be
245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rears (295 do as well)
These tyres are more like a little rubber band around the wheel, so there is not really enough sidewall left to put the runflat technology into. So the answer to your question is, no, you won't have runflat technology anymore.
Your tyre pressure monitor will still work fine, but you need to make sure, you either get the spare wheel kit or a mobility system consisting of compressor and can of tyre sealant.
