19's are way too big..Car will be nervous on ride...I am even contemplating going back to 17's, currently on 18's...
I like the rim style though, Breyton seems to be not very popular amongst the E34 crowd though...Considered Racing's under the E38 but came to sense that its not a racy car..
If I was you, I'd get me some BBS Le Mans rims! M-pars are the best OEM offcourse for the touring
The car will be so un-balanced and I think they tend to make the E34 models look a little "over wheeled".
If you can stick with 18" as a maximum. OEM or BBS would be my recommendation.
BTW the last Touring I saw on 19" wheels was not able to enjoy the Ring......such a shame to have such a fantastic and rare car and not to beable to enjoy it!

I almost bought a set of Breytons a while back, But I heard rumours that they were 'soft' and distorted very easily,this was backed up by a couple of board members so I decided to leave them alone and went for M para's instead.(A search will bring up the thread) I must say there is quite a vast difference in the feel of the car when changing between 17's and 18's,a better ride quality with the 17's IMO. Also the higher gearing/drag brought on by the bigger wheels is quite noticable (on my 3.6 anyhow).19's surely would be dreadful? Saying that I still wouldnt part with the 18's though!
I changed back to the 17 TS's - I had the M5 E39 wheels on, I saved just over 2kgs per corner swithcing back to the 17" originals.
Its purely subjective but those 18s looked fantastic.
