I've considered getting the 7er style 149s in the past, but could never imagine what they look like on an E60 M-Sport. I just came across this picture of the OEM 20" style 149 (7er) rims on an E60 M-Sport and I really like them!

You can get these second hand quite easily, so I might actually go for it and buy a set

What do you think?

 

It all depends on your personal preference. As for me, I like either dish style lips or some concavity but those do seems to fill the wheel weld pretty good.

 

always looked great to me

more fitting on a 7 though

if only they were concave

 

It's your car so do what you want. Don't be another sheep in the herd. Watch the width on the fronts. I like the wheels too.

 

not the worst wheels you can put on your e60...

I've always been a fan of OEM 20" 32's

 

thanks for the feedback guys -- much appreciated


I have the 128s on my car at the moment, so agree what you say about the concavity. The 149 is very flat and has no lip, which makes it very different from pretty much every other OEM E60-fitting wheel out there.


I think that's what's going through my mind too, however its still a good look IMHO


Very sound advice, thanks, but I am in 2 minds about the rims, because there are other rims I also like -- its the usual modding vs. spending mind games
As for the width on the front, there are a number of good Posts that I have found here about what tyres to put on the 7er 20" OEMs, so I think I am safe on that front.


Exactly!!!! However these are absolutely impossible to find I have never seen a set of OEM 32s in 20" being advertised in Germany/Europe
My order of preference is: 1) style 32 OEM 20" , 2) style M101 OEM 20" , 3) style 149 OEM 20"

Seeing as I don't want to lower the car due to it being used in the inner city, but want to close the gap from wheel to arch, 20s seem the right choice.
The 20" M101s are available from time to time, but are typically EUR 1000 more than style 149, which come up for sale quite often. As it happens, I have found a set of 149s and a set of M101s. After seeing the picture of the 149s, I started questioning whether the M101s are worth an extra 1000 Euros and I'm struggling to justify it!

149's 20"


OR...

M101 20"



What to do?!

 

+1 for M101

 

my sister has the M101s on her 745. they are STUNNING in real life.

 

I prefer the M101's, if only because they have a nice lip on them

 

M101's are sick. Just so classy.
