I saw a pic of an E60 M5 w/22's in Asia somewhere. They made the 14.7" rotors look puny.

Aside from the performance and safety issues, it's a matter of personal taste. I prefer the subtleness of BMW sedan designs, and 18" rims are perfectly adequate for me (although the 19" M5 rims are HOT). I'm not expecting a call MTV "Cribs" anyway.

I'd say no bigger than 20. Do a search on the forum, there are a lot of members that have 20's and look really sweet laid out w/ 20's. Good luck. Everyone has there own taste and go for what you like and then post pics so we can see.

Right on man. Good call. Nothing worse than spending all that money on a sweet ride and having it look too "Snoop Dog". Sure, there's a small percentage of people that love that look, but most sure as heck do not. I mean, some people love the cars on MTV's "Pimp My Ride" too.

My turn to chime.

Don't forget to lower your car as you increase the rim. Or your ride will be looking like a 4X4.

It's your money, spend it as you wish.
