If you spending cash on wheels might as well go all the way! Go for DPEs or HREs!

On a side note, 166 wheels are nice but you'll still have a stock look which i don't think you want looking at your car's setup.

IMHO, go with OEM 19"s as 20"s would be reps. If you want 20"s, there are so many other style choices GL

+2, stick with 19" if you're going for an OEM look, if not my vote is for some 20" HRE's

eugen i`v seen your car at the meet in june or july... now this is just IMO.. the m5 wheels r real nice.. but for your car i would do a different set up... a liitle more sporty IMO,would suit your car much better... but like i said its MO... you do what you think is best... i would do a brush metal lip with a alloy center or black center.. it will go well with your roof... good luck.. and by the way go with 19`s its a better rid less rotation... but i remmber you saying on one of your post`s you take real good care of your wheels.. if thats the case go with the 20`s.. cause you know just as much as i do the city and ny street`s love 20`s and up.. they eat them all day long..... frecken pot hole`s :thumbsdown:

thanks for all the input guys, I guess I have to give it some more thought maybe it would be best to wait thru the winter and get a new set up in early spring.

The M5 style rims would look good but if you want something different, then I will have to echo what others have been saying here- DPE or HRE. We carry both brands and would be more than happy to give you a quote. Let us know.
