Which wheel/rim
I narrowed my search down to these three rims that I can afford at this time but have hard time to decide which is the best looking wheel. I am looking the most aggressive offset with the widest tires without spacers. I have rolled fenders with stock sport springs. But thinking of putting KW2.what offset I have to go without rubbing. Are they strong enough to withstand NY path holes?
Wheel 1
BMW 5 Series on VVSCV1 Wheels
Wheel 2
BMW 5 Series on VVSCV7 Wheels
Wheel 3 M5 stock 166s
What will be your choice?
Thx

Not a huge FAN of rims black rims with chrome/polished faces, I either like ALL Black or Black Center polished lip. From the options given I'd say VVSCV1 because of the concavity in the rear front is lacking though. Stock 166's are never a bad idea specially with a drop your car now definitely needs a drop. I like tighter patterns thats why I would say no to VVSCV7's. It's your ride tho and for something like rims its going to come down to persnal preference which Im sure you already know. My .02......

Thanks
I agree multi spoke wheels are for e60s.
Now CV1 or 166s? I like the two color design of CV1. They are both in same price range but
how is the built quality and material of Vossen wheels compared to OEM. I mean are the strong?
Are there people how have them for a while. Any issues with them?

Found these on eBay. Looks close to 166s but not quite concave.
Would you buy these?
