i am curious to see who likes what style of wheels on these e60s. and if you have had both, which felt better on the car?

do you like the flat or concave style mesh style or more euro style wheels. or do you like the deep lip staggered wheels.

I like both. I had deep dish staggered wheels before but then changed to the Neez concaved wheels. The main reason I switched was because one piece forged wheels are usually lighter than 3 piece wheels (most deep dish wheels are 3 piece).

If you want a middle ground, a few companies lately have been developing wheels that have lips on them but the centers are also concaved.

Yea seems like step lip wheels are making a come back lately. I think if I was ever to switch, I'd be getting either the BBS LMs or LM-Rs with step lip and in diamond black.
