Rims reconmendation for black 523 LCI

[silvergrey]

Hi guys,
looking to replace my rims for my black 523i.LCI
Considering 18" M5 Italian replicas (not sure if this is available in sg)
But also thinking of black center rims,but not sure whether it will go well.

Any suggestions? preferably with price range is appreciated.

PS. Not keen on 19" as not willing to live with the hard ride and slower acceleration plus costly tyres.

Look at my avatar... won't regret! 19 inches! No loss in whatever!

I love that rim model 166 M5, but not sure about the ride quality though.But definitely consider it.If I am not wrong that set would be around $6,000 with tyres right?

well, i'm not the princess who can feel a pea through a hundred mattresses... I cannot feel the difference in ride quality.. it's still a great ride! I guess the price is about there...

If you change to 18" rims with black spokes, your rims will look like 17" on your E60.

19" M5 reps are probably your best bet for cost reason.

But if I were to own an E60, Radenergie R10 20" will be my top pick.......

Yup! I paid PML S$6+k for a set of M166 with normal tires. If runflat even more ex!

Thanks for all your inputs guys,I decided to stick with 18" M5 rep.Got the Italian made ones at Hurry tyres and am satisfied with the looks.
