Some one was asking me for my opinion on Aftermarket E39 Wheels. Here are wheels for E39 I find esay to the eye, check it out:

Breyton Inspirations: (Looks a bit datd but still going Strong) =)
<img src="http://www.d2technik.com/wheels/breyton_inspiration_wheel_2.jpg"> <img src="http://www.jimmy540i.com/breyton1.jpg"><P>
the breyton & AC tupe III one-piece looks "somehow" similar if you look straight into to. BUT they look way different from the side. The Breyton has a deep lip and the AC has a better design which makes it look much begger than Breyton.
Here is the thing, when I was driving w/ Breytons, people were asking me if they are 18" or 19". And when I was driving w/ AC wheel, people were asking me if they are 19" or 20".
I am putting a set of AC type III wheels when my Beast arrives. I am just not sure about the one and 3 piece. I know that the one piece sets are cheaper but I don't know what role the one piece plays as opposed to the 3 piece. Shall I go for the one or 3? Any pro's and con's??
I got the ACS racing type lll 3piece in the 19" because they were relatively light compared to the other wheels. I didn't care for the clear coat and machined finish on the polished areas, so I had my metal finisher re-polished the lip and insides, I also had them re-painted in the stock Titanium color to match my M5, they were slightly different in shade.

Angel, The 3 piece ACS are not truly 3 piece they are actually 2 piece wheels with titanium bolts that are tapped and threaded into the rims, as opposed to HRE type 3 piece that have a bolt and nut fastener. These are much lighter than the others but are not as strong. I installed a Smartire Tire system to monitor the actual tire pressures and temperature, along with the stock tire monitor. It also has a pre set low pressure and temperature to warn you of overheating and too low of too high air pressure. My digital camera is not working, as soon as I get it repaired I will shot some photos.

I have the AC Schnitzer Type III two piece and I like them alot. Mine are chromed, so when they get dirty, they look like the OEM wheels do when they are clean . I got the 18 ", but they do have the appereance of 19". The lip is larger than what is shown in the above pictures.
A performance car deserves performance rims. I think these Kinesis K-58 look pretty darn good on an E39 and at ~20 lbs each, offer a nice weight reduction, too.
I emailed you my dyno chart offline on my company email address - I don't have it posted anywhere, it's on my harddrive, remember? 482 hp and 420 torque. So, do you want to get together, maybe at a track or something (I don't have any contacts to get us on a track in your area....but then again, I'd make the trip down to you, so hopefully you could set this up

Wow.. sounds like there is a terrible run in perspective
At last, we will be once for all fixed on the real potential of Jimmy's so-called monster (which apparently eats M5s and 996 TT for breakfast !)
Quad, You are like the 350th person who wants to race me. Where are you located? If you are located in Southern Califonia. I'm looking forward to see you on the local or highway if we ever met.
JIMMY
PS: ( I have NOT yet received you e-mail of your dyno, show me your dyno. my e-mail is JIMMY540i@aol.com
I've had these for about three weeks now, and I just can't stop grinning! Best part is, my local speed shop is seeking buyers for my OEM Shadow Death-to-Clean wheels.
If you're interested in a high-end, high-performance wheel, I gotta recommend the Kinesis. Dave P. (FAST4DR) made me a heck of a deal on this set-up.
