When a set of older aftermarket wheels gets old and starts to crack after years of use on the extremely harsh roads of LA, it’s often easier to just get a new set of wheels than hassle with trying to get an individual replacement wheel – there’s enough variance in powdercoats that a gunmetal wheel from two years ago won’t be a color match for a gunmetal wheel made last week – if you can even find a new one. That’s why when one of Chris E’s wheels went bad, he rang up Mod Expert Sean about a set of new wheels for BMW F10 5-series and booked the next available appointment.
Every once and a while, we’ll have a set of wheels available for a ridiculously low price, and Sean happened to be in the know about this 20in set of Eurosport Monza wheels we’re currently offering on clearance that would look great on the 550i while also solving the problem of having to replace the bad old wheels.

Going for just $899 as of press time, this is hands down the most affordable set of 20s for a F10 on the market, and we still have one or two sets on hand for those of you who might want to score a set for yourself. Paired with a set of fresh Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2 tires to give the 550i the grip it needs for all that muscle, the new kicks perform as good as they look on the F10.

The machined faces key in beautifully with the subtle chrome of the dual rectangular exhaust tips, while the painted black inners match the car’s paint scheme, giving the car a really clean look. We love how the car came out with just a set of new wheels – thanks for joining us and we hope you enjoyed the photos.
