Thanks. Others have assured me that any e53 18" wheels will work. I hope that's true. I'm look at a set of 69's right now.

I think I will go for the 69's. I think they look better, they come with the center roundel, and I have some friends that will be in the area this weekend that I trust to check them out. Worst case, I'll have to resell them and look for 99's.

They say that any of the 18" wheels for an e53 will fit. So as long as they are 58's for an e53, I'm told the answer is yes. If you read both of these threads, there is a lot of good information. Here is a link to the styles, and if you click on the individual style number it will give you some detail.
