Hi guys,
I am offered a new set of original styling 125 19 inch wheels with tire combo 245/275 for a very good price. My question is, would they fit and how do u think they will look on my car. Got a picture of my car and a picture of E60VTA's car with the 125 rims on it. Hope u can give me some reactions and maybe one of those photoshopped picture would be nice.
E60VTA: Hope u dont mind i borrowed your picture....thanks!
Regards,

Yeah i know but i dont think that is such a big deal since my own bmw dealer is having a demonstration E61 at the moment with 19 inch alpina wheels.
But your right, thats is the only point that made me hesitate.

I think they would look nice. (They will look more individual since everybody now wants like the carbon black with ///M Pack and 135 style rims...)Aangezien je vroeg om een photoshop probeersel, ben ik maar eens 3 minuutjes bezig geweest en heb ik dit eruit gekregen:
Ik weet dat het geen mooie photoshop is aangezien ik maar weinig tijd heb en op een andere pc zit...
Het geeft je toch tenminste een voorbeeld van wat het zou kunnen zijn.
BTW: waarom niet gehomologeerd in Benelux?

Vind het erg mooi moet ik zeggen. Inderdaad zoals je zegt, weer wat anders. 135 style hoort teveel bij het M pakket en is buiten dat ook veel op 3 series te zien.

Hee super man. Kan me nu wel een goeie voorstelling maken, bedankt!

Ik vond het ook wel mooie velgen als ik ze zag (had ze nog niet op een E60 gezien om eerlijk te zijn).
Mocht ik van jou zijn zou ik toch wel voor die gaan; ze hebben een beetje de neiging om op de ///M6 velgen te lijken, maar toch zijn ze het niet en toch mooi op de E61.
Kun je me verder uitleggen waarom het niet gehomologeerd zou zijn in de Benelux?

I'm not that great on Dutch but I think you asked why the 275 is not homologated for the E61. I think the reason is simply that the RFT of 275-18" and the normal 275-19 tyres don't take the load index nessesary for the car. I have not investigated it in to deep, but that and the fact that there is almost rubbing on the inside is the reasons I can see for not have 9,5" rims approved for this car.
