I am new on this forum and am planning to buy a BMW E60.
So know I am already thinking with which wheels I should go.
I don't like the BMW OEM wheels, so I am looking for others.
The problem is that I have only 3500 euro for wheels and tires.
That means only around 2500 for wheels.

I am looking for a wheel with a black heart and a polished lip.

Quite interested in the KMC Dime Black 20''


But I have found some pics on the internet of a E60 with chrome Dime 20'' and they look weird, I don't know what it is, but I see so much of the tires.


Anyhow do you have any qualitative good suggestions for me?
Love the DPE 8S, but for that wheels I have to save longer.
So please help me out

It's the chrome and the curve of the spokes that make them look weird to me. As far as sidewall you wont have much with a 20".

In addition to what BP said, the chrome wheels in the picture do not look staggered. The widths are probably the same size and as a result, the lips are identical and the rear offset is badly in need of some spacers. I think you should be more patient and save up to get the wheels you really want instead of jumping the gun and settling for something on a budget.

Yes I changed my mind and decided that the DPE 8S Phantom Black will be my next purchase.
But I still have a questions, hope that you can help me out.
Which company sells DPE Wheels and is quite cheap? Ships international to The Netherlands.
And what sizes of wheels should I take for the front and back 20''?
And which spacers?

Hope that someone can answer these questsion, maybe someone who now got DPE wheels, who can give me the advice to get that ultimate look with these wheels.

Thank you.
