M-Parallel replicas - 19 in. E39

[robokam]

I was wondering if anyone has the Moven DS2 rims in 19 in. staggered setup on an E39. I like the M-Parallel style but wanted them in 19 in. staggered so replica's are the only choice. What about the Evergreen imports 19/20 in. replicas? How much do they weigh and what's their cost? How about the strength of the rim? Any comments are welcomed.

I helped someone install 20" replicas on a 540 and they are super heavy and dont really look like the factory wheels.

The end result looked pretty good but the performance suffered quite a bit off the line

I too am thinking about getting some 19" moven's, either the DS2 or the GT2 for my 98 E39, black on black.

Can someone post a picture of a 5 series with staggered 19"s and also one with staggered 20"s...

THanks

Is the diameter on your 19's the same as your stocks or bigger/smaller? How does it ride on those DS2's? What kinda springs do you have?

The 19" and 20" are replicas. I believe OEM BMW wheel comes in 18" only.

YIKES!! them replicas LOOK better than the real ones to me just cuz of the rear lip looks wider, plus it also has more of a shiney look to them. But for life of me, I cant figure out why replicas cant make there rims just as strong as the real mccoy. That "get what you pay for" slogan is proof in the pudding when it comes to rims. I've had about 4 different set of replicas and every friggin set of replicas i've ever bought bent up on me! So for me the look only lasts a little while. I went back to the oem stock wheels on both my M3 and my 530 and not once have i bent them (driving the same way on the same roads). Only thing with rolling stock, there's no originality in that to seperate yourself tastewise from others with the same car.
