128
It looks fantastic. I still think the 95s work better with that look though, but stand alone the 128s are still my favourite wheel out of the two. What's your current thinking; 95 or 128?

Dave, hi! It looks same, as i could image - XXX!!! and XXXXXXX!!! LAst week, being at regular service, I asked a staff of our BIGGESTEUROPEANBMWDEALER about doing install 128 to my Jet-Cow... He gave me a short answer, that 128th won't fit to E61 - they made for E60 only... How did you managed to do impossible!?? spacers?

Just get them to check the latest official LCI BMW OEM E61 Touring Parts catalogue and they will find 19" rims listed for the E61. That should put them in their place and more importantly it will help them help you with your request

Yes, you need at least 12mm spacers to fit the staggered set-up at the rear. I actually opted for 15mm spacers. When having this fitted I was still living in Germany and had to have it all officially tested and approved by German (T?V) authorities -- in other words, it is safe and fits!
