My Ride: E60 535d M-Sportpaket
Default What you guys think of these wheels?

Hi E60 team,


My first summer with the E60 is coming, so I start looking for wheels.
I found these one on eBay for under $1000 ($960) and decide to orded them for my 535d MSport:

Japan Racing JR11 Hyper Black:


Unfortunately, there are almost zero photos on the web, how they actually look on such a car, especially with the setup that I want, which is:

19x9,5J ET22 fronts
19x11J ET15/ET25 rears (both with extreme concave)

I managed to find this one on instagram uploaded by some guy who already bought them and fit them on the car with 245/35/19 in front and 275/30/19 rears, but his are matt black which I do not like personally. 19x9,5J ET22 fronts and 19x11J E25 rears.

Found these one on Instagram aswell, but they are 18", and the photo is bad ...Isntagram as I said.

There is a video on youtube made by JR, but the car in the video is using very streched tires, which I do not like and its not lowered.



Well, my question to you guys is, do you believe that I will be able to fit 19x11 ET15 on the rears, or I should go for 19x11 ET25 ones?

I do not want to get them out of the fenders too much like stanced Honda, just want to be exactly with the fenders.

OMG! The outer rim will be the death of those wheels. Your passenger will have to get out and walk you to the curb.
I have a set of 19in BMW M sport wheels on my2010 550. It seems that every time I get close to a curb, the wheels want to reach out and smack someone
Nice looking wheel and good luck.

EXACTLY what he said. The wheels look great. My experience with wheels like that come to a very "fine-edged" lip is that there isn't much integrity to the wheel structure and they are prone to bending in this area.

I would give you the cautious thumbs up. Just drive carefully.

Thank you guys!!! I am really happy that you all like the wheels aswell, you keep me motivated!

Kindly, help me to choose the correct offset for the rears.
Do you believe ET15 will rub and I should go for ET25?
Also, does ET15 will be to much out of the fenders, since we are talking for 11J wheel?

Im really confused with the right ET for the rears...
