So it took me about 2 hours of looking at 2 different sets of wheels trying to decide which ones i wanted. Many thanks to Geordie @ Butlertire for all his help, he was kind enough to even mount tires on the wheel and mount it on my car so i could see if i liked it or not and that was the deal breaker there had to have them once i saw them on the car.

the wheels are 20 inch Maya STM

20x10.5 rear 275/35/20 ET+17
20x9 front 245/40/20 ET not sure cant remember

The car currently has the sport package which is supposed to have slightly shorter springs, the wheels do look fine now but the car could use a slightly more aggressive drop especially since the tires are kind of stretched as well.

on to the pix.

butler tire on jones bridge road!
those guys are awesome. i went out there to grab up a set of beyerne mesh 18x9.5 and 18x8.5 for a co-worker's E34 540 6speed.
they really do treat your car like it was their own.
the E60 looks sharp with the mayas, nice offsets.
we had a customer with an e46 M3 that had 20" mayas, it looked awesome.

Looks hot...and I like the stretch, I know Geordie does too. I might be throwing some 23s on my 9.5s in the rear soon for some nice streeeeeeeeetch. Nice wheel choice, and good pick with Butler, Geordie and all the guys there are awesome!
