Hey guys,
what do you think about these rims?
My choice would be front 8,5x19",245/35/19 and back 9,5x19"275/30/19
My car is a 530i, E61 alpine white with teinted windows, I want to wrap my roof with satin black wrap or cf wrap.
I think it would look nice, the price is also decent,it's about 1120? without tyres..in total roundabout 2000? for summer wheels..
what do you think about white ring on the lip:
greetings,ivano

These would look great on an E61 - or an E60 for that matter. I think getting them in 19s will make them blend in nicely and give you that "looks like it came this way from the factory" look. Which, IMHO, is the best way to hook up a car. They kind of remind me of the Alloy Tech wheels made for M5's, like these here:
PS noticed that the center cap says ASA. Not sure why, but I'm not 100% that they are very high quality - I could be severely mistaken on that one though, never had any first-hand experience with them.

The design of these wheels is nice and classic. Personally I've never been a big fan of black or any other colored wheels, than the classic aluminium silver. In this case though, the car being white with the satin black or CF roof I think the wheels would make your car a very nice combo! The white ring looks nice also. I say go for it!

I am not the biggest fan of all black rims on white cars, but it would work well with the black roof and those rims would give it a very agressive look. The black-rim with a silver lip combination would be more my taste if I was to go the black rim route.
As a contrast, the picture below was posted in the "new pics of your E61" post. It has 20s, silver rims, black roof and no roof rails. Its a slightly less agressive look. It all comes down to the look you want to achieve.

YES SIR!!
This is the benchmark! I am not a fan of chrome or polished rims at all, specially with a lip.. my last rims had a chrome lip and after a while I started to hate these rims!
I think if I am going with the style of the car shown above, the black rims will give it a stronger and more aggressive look.
More then 19" aren't possible with 275/30 ,right?!
