Really depends on what it is you're looking for … performance and unsprung mass certainly bigger is not better. Aesthetically, I think 21" wheels look amazing on the F90 platform, although that is subjective. 21" wheels can be lighter than OEM so still an improvement over OEM.

Jose, I just don't like the looks or the feel of the larger diameter wheels/tires. Heck, I'd be happier with 19" but 20" is my max.


21in Fi-R. Was looking for 20 in Fi-r seems they don't make it for the M5 at all which is a shame. Def not going 21s, wouldn't trust a set of 10k wheels and super low pro tires on the roads here. Also wanna keep that weight down as much as possible.
Damn, those 21's look sick …. If your roads are garbage 21's are a no-go!

I've had 21's on my last 3 M5's with no issues but the roads in Miami are very good so that's never been an issue.
