    M Pars. M5 just a bit too busy.

    Neat how the e39 somewhat dwarfs even a 19" rim.

    Default :: Wheel Poll. Your opinion is probably important...

    DISCLAIMER: This poll is only about what looks best... please refrain from comments about ride quality and what rubber is going on them. Thanks much.

    So... 19" staggered M-Pars or M5 style (both in satin finish)?


    M5 style:
    - HELL to clean... and I clean wheels every other day in summer (overall wipe)
    - sophisticated style... I already like the 17"s I have on for winter
    - looks aggressive in staggered stance

    M-Pars:
    - distinct lip
    - clean look
    - a little oversimplistic for e39
    --- only 5 spoke that looks great on it in my opinion is the SSR GT3

    NOTE: I have the M5 front and rear bumper and single tip Magnaflow exhaust... so not quite like the 'old' picture there.


    Both have lip...

    M-Pars all the way. Nothing looks better on E38's or E39's.

    m par, m5s are overdone and don't look that hot to start with, make sure whatever brand copys you get aren't crap as some of them are either too soft and bend or are too hard and crack, i have a almost perfect looking m par copy at the shop that probably has a dozen cracks around the rim that i am going to cut the face off and polish up for a wall hanger
    all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it

    M5s are overdone?! I'd think it'd be the M-Pars that are overdone...

    M5 rim... only just tho!!

    The M-pars are such a nice wheel, but in the photos above, the M5 wheels look a little bit better.

    19's ?? Why not go for 20s... Only an inch bigger, and possibly easier for tyres.

    Gone but NEVER forgotten. :'(

    And then...
