I've got the tires:

Potenza S-03's F:245/35-20 R:285/30-20.

I'm still looking around, but I'm really liking the iForged Swift.

I went w/ the Radenergies. A bit pricey, but I'm hoping I get what I pay for! What's the wait time on those iforged?

I went with the R10s, 19x8.5 19x10. They should be here this week or next week.

I presume you got the matching centers? I presume Wheelhaus Auto sold them to you?
Can you pm me the price you paid? I promise I'll be seated when I open your message.

The R10's an awesome wheel. No doubt you'll be happy with those so the money you spent was well worth it.

I was also considering the R10 myself since other members have already posted pics of them. It looks good on the e60.

I've always been a mesh-type person. My previous car had Racing Hart ZRM's which is a tighter mesh (more spokes), but the iForged Swifts are more opened (less spokes). Here's a picture but I'd rather get it with the anthracite powdercoating and not chrome.

Right now they are saying 4-6 weeks.

How long did they tell you for the R10's?

I'd be curious to hear the lead times on the 19" R10's as well. I have had my R10's on order since the end of April. I have spoken with Wheel Power, RE's only US distributor and they claim the have not had 19" R10 come in since early April.

Distributor says they should be in Cali any day now, meaning sometime this week. Once they get there, it'll take 4-5 days for them to get here. So I'm lookin at 2 weeks? I ordered these like 2 1/2 weeks ago!

I think these are made in Japan, vs the American made iForged (hence the wait).

I like that style you picked out. BMWs has always traditionally have mesh type spokes on their cars. Can't wait to see those on your car!
