Hey guys,

I will be installing a BMW OEM M Aerodynamic Kit to my 2006 Titanium silver 530IA (sport and premium package) soon. Currently, I have the 18" OEM 123 wheels. I still like them because they have strong, solid and yet sporty looks...

Anyways, I am afraid the old wheels might not do justice for the new looks of my car. If it's not too much trouble, please post your recommendations and pics for a titanium silver 530i if you have available.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Daniel

Indy,

Thanks for your inputs. I will look into it more carfully after narrowing down on other options also.

What do you or anyone think of the 19" MIRO 111 and VMR VB3 on titanium silver 530i?

Thank you in advance,

Daniel

I love the look of the Miro 111's. Can't go wrong with those from a style perspective but everyone is different. I'm not sure if they are as durable as the oem wheels noted above though... Anyone have issues/problems with their miro's?

C,

So far, that's more of my style. I think it has the conservative, low profile, solid, yet stylus looks. What is something like that going for?

Tisch BMW has not deliver my Aerodynamic Kit to the shop yet. So, please send me more options.

Thank you everyone! :-)

I totally agree if OEM is your option. 172's and 166's are the greatest looking OEM wheels out there by far. Best of luck on your choices Daniel.

Talk to Michael (acuteperformance) he will be able to hook you up with the best price on DPE wheels.

Hey Guys,

What do you think of the 20" OEM BMW E60 5 Series M Cross Spoke 101? Tires are Hankook Ventus V4 275/30/20 rear and 245/35/20 front. Will they rub if I put them on as is or do I did spacers or other things to make them fit?

Thank you in advance.

Daniel
