Okay so those who check the board often know that I got my hands on a set of mint condition style 33 rims back in February. So today I finally got them balanced and mounted on the 5. I also washed her (she really needed it!). So here are some photos for your criticism:rolleyes.

any one know which e39 had the style 29's in the 15" and which came with the 16".. (they only came on 528's right but different size for year?) .. to me the 15 looks odd and 16 looks a lot better.. but would be even better with a slightly bigger lip and in 17's

mine came with the 16's .. that's why im wondering

What happened to your OEM shadowline trim?

Looks alright. I'd still go with something more fancy then stock wheels.

It was tape, and I really didn't care for it anymore. The 8 months I had it on were fine, but it really didn't go with the "look" I am going towards.:D
