I wonder what it will do to the ride? Harsh, but will track like its on rails. Again, some of these German wheels are prone to getting bent. 3 of my wheels on the Audi were bent and had to get a set of aftermarket rims.

wow those double spokes are the ugliest wheels ever, they remind of the 2002 e46 coupe wheels that were like flowery daisy lookin wheels...

as far as the V-spoke those look cool, im sure theyd look good on the e70

You are correct, the ride will be harsh because of the short sidewall and 1 pot hole and kiss a wheel good bye. They look ok but in the real world don't make much sense.

Any word on how the folks with the 20" wheel are feeling at this point. I drove the vehicle with the 19" and seemed like a magic carpet, even with the sport suspension. I have ordered with the 20" though.

Zouz, You are missing 19" style 177 wheels on your page for E70 wheels.
