19 or 20 inch
I have a 2012 jet black 550 m sport and would like to put on some black avant garde rims and h&r srpings. For pratical reasons I would like to put on 19 inch so I don't have to buy new tires (can keep my current ones). However, I noticed that most members put on 20 inch. Do you guys think that 19 inch will look ok? Are there any pictures of a car with h&r springs and 19 inch wheels. I want to save money but don't want the car to look cheesy.

Def go 20's man. Like others have said you'll surely regret not doing so down the road. Plus, depending on width of aftermarket wheel you may not be able to retain the stock tires anyway. But keep in mind you can get a good set of hankook's for around $800 anyway so don't let that hold ya back!

Trust us. 20"s minimum on the F10.
When i went to 20" non RFT from my stock 19" RFT's i didn't even notice any change in comfort. If anything the ride might actually a little better. 21"s looks perfect but only if the roads are pristine by you. 20"s is the best compromise. Alan

If you want a go 19, just powdercoat the stock rims. In that way you will save more money and stay with stock tires. But if you plan to purchase the wheels, definitely go with 20.

Did you mean to say 20's or 19's? I haven't found any suitable tires that fit 20" rims.
