It's still a BMW and an E60, and that's what matters! Yeah I think it HAS to be DEEP dish! I could probably contemplate the 10's if they had a deep lip all round, but I don't know if I would be totally happy with how the spokes come out to the edge

Jon,

You want the SP5 then -- none of them are on your list. The SP5 has no concavity, no rivets, and gives you maximum lip because of the forging. You'd be looking at 3"/4-4.5" lip. They look similar to the SP-C5.

SP5


SP-C5

Hi Michael,

So the SP-C5 hasn't got a deep lip?! What size lip have they got?

Signature Series (Normal Lip Size) 2.5-3" / 4"
Shallow Concave (Less Lip) 2-2.5" / 3-3.5"
SP Series (Deepest Lip) 3-3.5" / 4-4.5"

By design, you can't get a super deep list with concave wheels.

The size lips you say for the Shallow Concave series is probably enough for me. Which would you suggest Michael? SP5 or SPC5 or SP-SC10?

I really like the 5's...

Ok, I will think about the 2 5's. So it's basically medium dish, slight concavity or, no concavity and maximum dish... Let me have a think!

Will do! Wish I could see some pics on a 5 of the wheels! So much harder to imagine!

The visionaries never had pictures! Greatness never had pictures! You want to blaze a trail and be unique, it's a risk you'll have to take.

It'll be fine!
