Sorry, missed your reply.

Three reasons for going with the BBS FIs:

- They are the lightest 20" wheel available for the M5. If you drive your car hard, and are performance minded you will feel a difference due to the unsprung weight reduction.

- They are manufactured at the same facility which makes the Porsche, Bugatti, and BBS motorsport wheels. There is no higher quality or attention to detail and motorsport heritage combined.

- BMW used the BBS FIs on M5 test mules at the Nurburgring. The offsets and widths (+.5") were actually tested on the car.

Basically, performance first looks second.
