I’ve seen different designs, but I think something with a multi-spoke pattern can really enhance the aggressive look of the BMW. What do you all think?

Totally agree, David! Multi-spoke wheels can add a touch of sophistication and sportiness to the 5 Series. Any particular brands you recommend?
I recommend looking into HRE or Vossen. They have some stunning options that really elevate the car’s appearance. Plus, they are known for their quality.
Thanks for the tips! How about colors? What combos do you all think work best?
Matte finishes can look stunning, but chrome always gives a classic touch. It really depends on the style you want! What color is your BMW?
I’m leaning towards a deep blue BMW. I was thinking of going with a silver or gunmetal rim to contrast nicely. Thoughts?
That sounds great, Tony! Silver would be a classic choice, but gunmetal might give it a more modern edge.

Upgrading to 20s is a bold move! Just ensure you adjust your speedometer; the larger rims can throw it off if you’re not careful!
Good point! I hadn’t thought about that. Practicality meets style, I suppose!
I’ve upgraded my BMW 5 Series to 20 inch rims and went with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. They offer great grip and handling. Just make sure to check the aspect ratio for comfort!
I had a similar experience with those tires! They are fantastic, but I noticed a bit of a rough ride on bumpy roads. Just something to consider!
I went with Continental ExtremeContact Sport for my 20 inch rims. The grip is insane! Just watch out for tramlining; it’s noticeable with wider tires.
Great choice! I have heard that they perform well in both wet and dry conditions. How’s the road noise?
Road noise isn’t too bad, but it does increase a bit at higher speeds. I also found that the ride is stiffer than stock, but it feels more sporty overall.

Has anyone faced issues with the speedometer being off after upgrading to 20 inch rims? I’ve read mixed experiences about recalibrating.
I haven’t had to recalibrate mine after upgrading. The overall diameter was close enough, but it might depend on the tire size you choose. Always good to double-check!

What about off-brand tires? I found some cheaper options online and I’m curious if they are worth the risk for 20 inch rims.
I tried off-brand tires initially and regretted it. They underperformed on the road in terms of grip and wear. I’d suggest sticking to reputable brands for better safety.
I installed 20 inch rims for the looks, but honestly, the ride is much harsher than I expected. Is it possible to get a balance between aesthetics and comfort?
I can relate! You might consider a tire with a taller sidewall or explore adjustable coilovers for better comfort without losing the look.
