hi guys, i am looking for a set of either 19" or 20" wheels for my car. if it has a lip i would need it to be 20" if not then 19". i really like the 5 spoke design and would like to stick with that style but am open to other suggestions as well. i had my heart set on a set of used oem 19" M6 167's but as some of you might of read i got scammed on here by a member and recently was able to get my money back from the bank, so im on the prowl again. i have a budget where my max for a set of wheels is $2000 without tires. the oem M6 wheels new are over my budget and i cant seem to find any used ones and i dont want the replica m6 wheels since they dont look like the real ones so id like to see what else is available out there. i considered the 166's but something about them just looks plain and stock looking. im trying to go for an aggressive stance and those wheels just dont do it for me. i also considered the 20" radial style 32's but they have a classy look to them which is fine but again not really the look im going for.

what 5 spoke wheel can you guys suggest for me? if you have a suggestion please try to attach a pic so i can see what youre talking about.

thanks

Breyton GTS in Gunmetal. Here...go through this members Gallery. These wheels look amazing on the E60. And for $1600, you can't beat it! This member is running 295/25/20 in the rear too!

I would look at the VMR CSL Reps. Well under your budget and would allow you to get some kick ass tires. They are 19's.

Contact Trinityautosport for prices.

Nerweezy on here should be PMing you soon lol

here is a link with some info and pics

Although I was the first to have the VMR CSL's on my E60, I would still recommend the Breyton's in Gunmetal. Member polepositions car gets compliments all the time, even when my old car was side by side to his. They are great wheels, but you have to get them in this finish. I've seen them in black and in silver and they look much better in Gunmetal.

Those are nice and aggressive but I don't like the gunmetal color, do they come in silver?

They do. They don't look as good in silver though. I've seen them in Silver on an M6. :thumbsdown:

Breyton makes good stuff no doubt. I like the CSL reps because well they are CSL reps lol. They are much cheaper too, which would allow him to throw some serious cash where it matters the most, on the tires.

I like the hyperblack look more than the gunmetal but different tastes for different peeps

I love those Breytons, that's what I'm planning on getting. I was really loving the VMR 710's, but those Breytons are hot!
