not feeling either.... I like the stock (4.8i) wide oval tips better and don't like the slots around the lip of the wheels at all, CHEEZ... Plus the spokes are too thin, not as strong as the factory (upgraded) 20's or a variety of other, tougher looking wheels.

I don't dislike the black wheels with the white though, it's cool look, just not those particular wheels. Needs black interior though.

I just got the nod today that ACS and Alpina are to bring out 24inch wheels for the E70.

Those wheels are awful. BMW design has moved on yet ACS still think a design that must now be several years old still works.

To be fair these are existing wheels shown on an E70. ACS are developing a couple of new wheel styles, body kit, Suspension, exhaust, for the E70

Fair enough, they are hardly doing themselves any favours running out the same old design though. Particularly for a brand that at least in the UK enjoys the privelege of being distributed by BMW dealers.

Thats a fair point, but just FYI ACS are owned by the largest BMW dealer in Germany and there is a relationship there beyond that of BMW UK. But to an extent underlines your point even more.
