Vertini - here's some pics of a recent install on an IL Blue E60 M5.

I would say the concaves, but I hate that Vertini Concave signage on the wheel. Looks tacky IMO.

The mild concavity fronts of the Vertini's bothered me a bit when I first slapped them on especially since I was running OEM 166's, but they have grown onto me and I'm liking them more and more each day I see them. Of course my opinion may be bias

The reason I went for the Cocepts is bc the other ones seemed to be more of a 3 series style.

How so>? What is a "3 series style" wheel exactly? I personally think they look like a weak replica of the neez qd7's, but thats just me. What wheel are you referring to that resembles the 3? Or are you just basing it off of the photo MotorConcepts posted on their ad? I actually thought about those wheels as well, but the dish look isn't for me. Congrats on your new wheels. Did you flip your replica 167's or are you keeping them as a backup?

Is that those are the type of wheels I picture an M3 having. Maybe is just me, doesnt matter. I selling my 5 black 19" M6 wheels for $550, there a couple of guys from e90post that are interested, so it should be a fast sale.

another question guys these wheels I got are 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. So are 245/30/20 in the front and 295/25/20 in the rear a good selection of tires for our cars?

They are fine, but to have some more rubber to protect the wheel, you could go for 235 or 245/35 R20 and 275/30 R20.
