Hello from Tampa!
I am a newb to the forum and BMW's, I have recently purchased my first bimmer, an 04 545i.
Only had 38,000 miles on it, but came fairly well equiped with Sport package, Navi, logic 7, and these really sweet wheels.
The research so far seems to be 20" Beyern Silver Mesh in staggered size still confirming the widths, but the tires are 255/30ZR20 and 295/25ZR20's.
I hope to learn lots.. as i seem to have that "infamous" break squeal at low speeds and want to fix that as well as some other mods.
I also do track days on my motorcycle if anyone else does too, I hope to get to chat with you!
Cheers,
heath
