What would be the best rims to put on a BMW M5 and it is a 2007?

Question

My mom and dad are giving this to me for my birthday as well as another ride, but i dont want to have stock rims, what do you suggest

Answer 1

You will want to go to a specialized BMW parts installer. But let's evaluate the situation.

If you put new "rims" (wheels) on your BMW M5 you will be voiding your BMW warranty, so you will no longer receive free service on your BMW from the dealership. The warranty goes to 50,000 miles.

I will now answer your question, now that you know the stakes. If you are looking for "bling" look elsewhere. BMWs are not supposed to be some sort of "ghetto cruiser." The reason why is because you will destroy the car's handling, i.e. What makes it a BMW. Any wheels exceeding 20" will serious limit, damage and potentially kill you and your car. I am 100% serious.

Now, seriously. To best compliment the look and performance of your M5. I would recommend a 17-20" wheel. If you would like to have a wheel designed and manufactured by BMW's Motorsport Division, I would suggest the M5 Stock wheel. This wheel is lighter that the stock M5's wheel and has the performance of a 19" wheel. It may also be more aesthetically pleasing to you. However the ultimate wheel is the M3 Competition or M3 CSL wheel, it is 19, has a neo-star design and is very, very light, strong and the performance is unparalleled. I have this wheel on my BMW 328i. I love this wheel.

If you plan to head in a different direction I would steer you towards Volk wheels, they are very nice and have great performance. They are also more cost-effective than the BMW Ms. In all cases you should expect to pay over $1500 for good wheels.

Also, Rennworx makes a carbon wheel if you are a serious racer. Because you bought a Cabriolet, I can tell that you're not. Hartge, Hamann, Alpina, Dinan, Konig, HKS, AC Schnitzer, Korman, BBS and OZ all have great designs as well. I would recommend all brands I have mentioned as many of them exist on my car. These are fantastic manufacturers/tuners and provide an excellent product for an excellent vehicle. Good Luck.

Answer 2

The stocks are the best the BMW stock rims always are the best suited for that car it came with they are Light,Sporty,and very strong they never scartch etc even on heavy conditions.

Answer 3

Wow you are lucky.

The M5 is a high-end performance car so you might want to get some performance wheels for it.

I'd recommend some OZ Superleggera or Ultraleggera. OZ also makes some luxury wheels like their Galileo lineup. The Superleggera and Ultraleggera are very lightweight and each pound you save in the wheels equates to saving like 1.5 or 2.5 pounds elsewhere in the car. (Has to do with rotating wheels, and other physics stuff)

Also Konig tends to make very lightweight wheels.

But please don't get chrome stuff. I think chrome looks tacky and cheap. Especially spinners. Don't spend money to screw up your M5. Get something functional (or give me the money to pay my debt)!

Good luck!

Answer 4

Be sure you buy exact fit wheels. Some good looking wheels need spacers to fit BMWs properly.
Also, I hear that some foreign wheels, although they look good, bend easily.

Answer 5

I WOULD GO WITH HRE, BOZE OR CEC. BOZE AND HRE YOU CAN PICK THE FINISH AND ALONG WITH HAVING A STAGGERED FITMENT. YOU WILL PAY STARTING IN $900-UP RANGE FOR THE BOZE OR HRE. I JUST BOUGHT BOZE SPEEDSTERS 20 INCH FOR MY 2006 SUPERCHARGED MUSTANG THEY LOOK PHENOMENAL. YOU WILL PAY 4000 TO 5000 FOR A SET.

Answer 6

the stock 19's are super light and super strong, i'd stick with stock, or oem.

Answer 7

look in sports car magazines, they have lots of ads for custom wheels.
