First of all, three days until I pick up my 5 series in Munich on St Patty's Day!!

I am going to buy a set of 19"s for my 525i. I am torn between the Star Style 125 shown here

or the Star Style 128 shown here


Both list for $505 front and $510 rear. My dealer gives me 20% off as a CCA member, so it will run about $1500 for the wheels and another grand for tires.
(thinking about going with Potenza S-03s) from tirerack.com.

Opinions???

I was between those two styles myself. I like the 125's because they seem to look deeper. You can't go wrong either way. Here are a couple more pics to help you deceide

my opinion is to go for 128....for a big car the thinner spokes look too "under-sezed"...but the 128 is more masculine...which suits the nature of ther car...

I have style 128 on my e60 and i think it looks stunning! IMO, deep dish wheel tend to look smaller and wheel with spokes stretching all the way to the edge of wheel look big!I dont know how to post a pic and will be away till tuesday. if u want to see pic of my car guide me through posting of pic and i think u will not be dissapointed.

Wl530, love to see it. All you have to do is click on "browse" below and go to the picture on your PC and it will come up in the post. It might not come up on the preview.

thanks.

I like the large spoke wheel myself. I have been having a tough time deceiding what wheel to get aswell. I went with a 19" knock off of the 545i sport wheel #124 from www.aaarims.com for only $995 for the set. The S-03 tire would be my first choice too, but I went with a longer lasting and quiter tire ,the Falken Azenis. The wheels with tires mounted ready to go were only around $2000 including shipping to my door. Good luck deceiding.

Solider, go with the 125's. AWESOME looking IMO. The 128's look very similar to the star spoke style that's standard with the 525 Sports pkg (just smaller tire).
