i want new wheels for my LCI 550i sport but i dont know what to get. Im over the whole bling bling thing but i still want my car to look different. i want either 19 or 20s that are not a hassle to clean and have the most resistence to bending. i love the sport wheels but i hate that everybody is going to have them. i like the m5 wheels also, however i dont want those either, but something similar.
sorry for ranting but if anybody knows what might work for me for around 4k id be really happy
thanks for your time!

Best thing to do is head over to your local wheel dealer and have them hold the wheel up next to your car and stand back about 15-20 feet and see for your self.
Have you looked at tirerack.com? They have a wheel guide on line. Also check out: e60 picture gallary but there are a zillion more choices out there. Good luck!
