                      I like the rims, but for me (personal taste), the ones in the picture look too small! compared to the big aggresive body of an M5.
                      I also think the 18" rims on the E46 M3 are two small, again my personal taste ;)
                      Someone said the 21" rims look big on the M5, i think they look sweeeeeet!
                      U see it all goes back to the fact that i love the look more than paying attention to weight, track use, etc.

                      If thats what PetrolHead is looking for, then he might agree with what i'm saying.

                        To me performance comes first to looks in a wheel... but it depends on the type of wheel I'm going for... if it is for a daily use wheel then a slight loss in performance is ok, but for track use no way... the lighter the better.

                        Also bigger doesn't always mean better in terms of wheels

Seriously u will feel no difference putting 19" on! as if u never changed ur rims! it wont give u that feel that the car has completely changed. I've gone through a similar situation with my first non turbo supra. i replaced my 16" with 17" (similar to the ones that came on the turbo supra). I never felt like i had new rims on my car specially when a turbo supra would pass by, we have the same size rim. I ended up buying 19" cause 17" didnt do it for me, and 18" were not gonna give me the satisfaction i need!
                                19" wont do it for you bro!
