I didn't say the E60 M5...<grin> I mean the E39 M5 and the E46 M3. Both cars that pre-date Chris Bangle. I don't know what comes on the E60 5-series. I don't care either.

Thing is this. 18" wheels on a Honda Civic means ultra-low profile tires. 18" on an E39 M5 does not. It has to do with the size of the car.

OnHeck...19" wheels look just fine on a new Bentley Continental R. They'd look stupid on a Mazda 3.

Get it? <grin>
