What wheels, E60 BMW?
I have an E60 BMW 535d M Sport.
But... It has a set of 19" replica spider alloys (wider rears)
Its always had a slight wheel wobble on the motorway. I balanced them today and 3 are bent
So instead of getting them straightend, then refurbed, thought i may aswell get a new set.
What wheels look good on an E60?? They need to be 19s as i can reuse my tyres...

I'd go with genuine spiders, best looking E60 wheel IMO. M6 wheels are too open and belong on an M6 anyway.

Genuine spiders look so good, but are so expensive! Could get replica CSL wheels, or M6 wheels. Think it is out of those 2. Would love genuine ones but cost so much! I cant afford to do everything i want to this AND the escort!! Lol

BBS or CSL replicas. M6 style wheels have been done to death especially round here think I've seen more 3 and 5 series BMWs with them rather than without them!

Gen spiders. Anything else look particularly rubbish on a 60.

Cracker? To be fair if you post on a public forum, then someone is not going to like your stuff as much as you do; that's life.
Anyway. I like the X5 alloys on an E46. Not too sure about them on a E60 but they are chunky looking things. I don't like the work rezax wheels, too pimpy. I would choose CSl reps or ADV 7 Alloys.

Are most of you guys still running run flats on your E60/61's?

Here is my M5 with M6 wheels, which I think are lovely on the car.
And NO run flats fitted to the M5 as standard.

Skeeter. Keep thinking that. Sorry but the E60 just doesn't work with anything but OE. You can chav up most BMW's except the E60.
