Tru5g Ive been wondering what a black e60 would look like with gold rims. Now i know because of ur sig, looks awsome. Im starting to think wheels or suspension, and yeah, being in germany makes it a bit harder, i will have to find suppliers in europe, although it looks like there are quite a few shouldnt be that bad. Part of my problem in deciding what to do is i cannot decide what type of wheels i want. I like deep dish, but i also really like concave, but the thing with the concave is their so damn expensive. Whats everyone's opinion on size, 19 or 20? especially if you are considering lowering the car? Also is anyone familiar with BAVAUTO? I was looking at their suspension, a set of their springs with Bilstein sport shocks, anyone ever used these? Or what is a recommended suspension setup that wont hurt the ride too much.

sorry, i didnt take note of the fact that youre located in Germany.
i think the forum's general consensus is as follows:
19" you should go with a concave wheel...the deeper the better (thats what she said...lol)
20" you should go with a wheel with a lip
staggered set up of course..unless you are running an XI model which may hinder the width of the rear tire.
my vote is still for new wheels, it will give you a drastic change and more dramatic effect than any other upgrade right now.

Welcome to the forum and thanks bro...you should take some time and do some researches on wheels(miro, forgestar, OEM and etc), springs, or kits. Also, you can try emailing some of the vendors on this forum, they probably can help you. If you have any questions, just Pm me or start another thread.

Orion v2 is pretty much a given, lol, im leaning more towards wheels than a body kit for now, because i do agree it will do more for the looks. Just have to shop around for a resonably priced set of wheels and tires that wont kill me with shipping... i have not looked for wheel dealers in germany yet, so i might not have to worry about shipping.
