Default Wheel recommendations for my '02 M5?!?!?

Starting to look at rims.

Of course HRE and iForged are up there.

Any other suggestions? Color is light blue/silver.

Thanks.

THANKS!



My car is the same color as the last.

Wish the BBS were in reverse lip.

Think I may have to stick to 19's as I don't want to get the diameter off.

The 540r will look sick on your M5. That car is a beast. Cant wait to see pics with the wheels you go with

I really like the ones on the silver!!!! HOT!

Also, have you noticed on iForged the bolts being too long and seeing them inside the wheel. Looked terrible (on ones I saw other day).

Not really sure what you mean, the hardware is 100% authentic, not just glue on rivets so they are visitble, didnt know that was a bad thing though.

Sorry no GBs on iFORGED anytime soon, but I can get you a set for a awesome standard price. Let me know

And yes those were all 20s, no other way to go on the M5! LOL
