One word..... Un Real

Did indeed and they looked great, especially at the rear with the big dish. Mine needed spacers but I can't seem to find pics of them after I fitted 12mm all round

Went tonight and looked at a set but turned out they were crappy reps. 8J Front 9J Rear. So will be trying to source a set of genuine ones this week and get a decent low profile tyre fitted to get the big lady sitting properly. I already have 15mm Hubcentric spacers sitting so will use those if needed!

The ones in the top picture are 20's I think, hence the massive concave.

I couldn't find them in 20's, there were some genuine 21" ones online from an X3 or something though? Currently I have the 20" on and the car sits too high off the ground for my liking, which is why I'd like 19" and a good drop to the ground, as its sitting nicely in the arches with the 20" but too far off the ground!

Sooooo.....

​

IMO they need spaced out (I have the 15mm Hubcentrics) all around, and a thinner tyre for the front. Currently running a 245/35/19 but would go with a 225/35 or even a 215/35 to be able to lower it proper and play about with it, as they're a fairly wide offset as it is, so cant space it out too much with a chunky tyre on the front. 245/35 on the rear and 215/35 up front will probably be good enough. Cant decide if I like them or not though lol

Centre caps, spaced and a side on photo are all required

Im not sure I like them any more at all They're quite a weird colour contrast to the colour of the car in some way ... Just doesn't look right to me

Open to more wheel suggestions .......

Do you own an alloy wheel warehouse ? Lol. How do you manage to change them so often without loosing your shirt!?!

Not consider 20s? They make an e60 IMO.

Lol nope no wheel warehouse here! Ahhh pass, I just have nothing else to waste my money on, excep just purchasing a house so have to be a tad more sensible soon lol

In what wheel mate? The OEMS Stance 6 (IFG3) I had on before those Style 128's are / were 20".. putting them back on tomorrow morning until I find something else lol

I really like the vossen reps you had on, defo the best wheels you have had on!

 

[colin84]

You've had more wheels lately than Auto Alloys lol.

Not keen on the new rims tbh, I think it will be hard to beat the last set you had on.

 

[Brennan]

Prefer the other ones sorry bud. Like the bumper tho

 

[JTDi]

Opinions?

​

 

[GT_MAXER]

yes thats it mate

 

[Brennan]

That looks mint lol

 

[chris_b]

What that is, is a BMW M5 not a 520. Please please do not go down the road of trying to turn a car into something it can never be.

Wheel wise, yes nice. CSL style is always going to be hard to top.

I know its an M5 @chris_b lol, I was using the picture of the car as an example of a Grey E60 with those wheels for opinions, I'm not about to start an M5 body conversion on a 177bhp 2 litre diesel lol

 

[Lyons]

I think it needs skirts.

 

[JTDi]

I think it needs skirts.

It does mate Waiting to find a set and a rear m sport bumper, just annoying myself with finding the right wheels first lol

 

[GT_MAXER]

surely there is a wheel out there that nobody has put on here yet that works, big spokes dont work on the 5, needs to be multiple from what i see on google images
