I'm thinking of these wheels for my M5. These are 19" and will fit, or I could go for 20". Opinions?

I'd go with the 19". I had 20" and the ride really suffered. Also had some rubbing. I like your taste. Very nice. Good luck.

You might consider some nice Hartge wheels..

Do you know how much they weigh? Are they forged?

I checked out their site www.hartge.de but I cannot find any info about that.

Maybe a local US Hartge distributor can help you out??





ps: You really need to have those hartge wheels...........

Agreed--I like the standard M5 wheels, but those Hartge wheels are very nice.

wolverine,

Being a mesh-lover myself, I say go with that BBS in 20" if you like that mesh style (16-spokes). Or if you really want to fill that wheel well, go for 21".

I know you've seen this before, but here it is again...boo-yah!
