20" or 22" staggered? - Page 6

Ok... so I found a pic of a silver aero kit with 20" 168s and a pic of the 20" 214s; I cut and pasted the 214s on the photo with ms paintbrush and played around the size on the 168s to resemble 22". I know that the result is a little shady on the artwork, but it should give an idea of how the different wheels/sizes would look. What do you guys think?

They all look good..

IMO the 214 is something extra.. They are somewhat different from rims in general. Im getting a set of the 20" 214 soon.

I've never been keen on to large wheels, so i find the 20" to look better then 22". It depends on the rims offcourse..

Also, the X looks better with some rubber on it.

My X has been shoed with 20" 87s for awhile and I am ready to change it up. I have also been debating the aero kit vs. the 4.6 scheme for way too long.

These photos have finally summed it up for me; I am thinking that I should go with the 20" 214s and the areo kit. It makes the e53 look tight and more updated. Very tasteful.

Can't afford the e70....but I can mod this one up so at least I feel like I have something new!

Titanium interior trim
angel eye headlights and LED taillights (careful to maintain stock appearance)
gauge rings
M3 steering wheel
Navigation/XM/bluetooth/rearview camera
fresh floormats
(....did I forget anything?)

Oh yeah...Anyone want to buy my sport steering wheel or staggered 87s?

I would stick with 20"s for least vibration/potential damage/cost of tires, better performance

Russ from Eurotech helped me out huge. lots of oem replica wheels!
