19" or 20" Rims on 530e
I recently placed an order on a G30 530e MSport to be delivered end of May. The car will be locked for further alterations next week. I´m very tempted to shod it with 20" rims, but not at the cost of ride and handling ( car has Adaptive Drive ). What do you guys who are in the know think? Am I pushing it too far? Should I stop at 19" ?

but that being said, sometimes it is an emotional decision and rational is out the window nd you need to get the 20" rims! Like my spending $650.00 on the ceramic controls option cause I liked the way it looked. Oh well. |

19" is plenty for the 530e. 20" wheels would look ridiculous on that car. It just wouldn't be appropriate in my opinion. Save your money.

I see your point. My driving pattern and Norwegian tax incentives force me to choose a PHEV. In another life or country I´ll put 20´s on my M550 or M5.

Why, lots of 520d with 20" also.

I've also ordered a 530e M Sport with 664 19" alloys. I test drove a 530d with 20" alloys & no adaptive drive which I found a little too bumpy at times. I've seen 2 cars side by side at my dealership with 20" & 19" alloys, hard to tell the difference at first glance, so I would suggest to stick with your 19" wheels.

I was in Norway in 1995 on a tour sponsored by a window manufacturer. Norway is one of the most beautiful countries on earth with wonderful people. We saw the most beautiful sites and we ate at the very best restaurants in the country with amazing food. The chefs would prepare their very best dishes for us which was inevitably reindeer. Our tour group must have consumed one whole herd of reindeer.

We are talking about an inch in diameter and I feel like I just got served by the condo association for my pink flamingo. Didn't think the option portrayed by BMW themselves in the first infomercial would be likened to "rollin' on 20s"...
"Detracts from ride quality" or "I don't like the look" would have been an opinion... Violating Chicago-American sensibilities or German design intentions is a little over the top, no? The reindeer massacre was a nice story though. |
