I think the rim design is pretty good. With the face in black it's hard to tell what they look like exactly, especially when the lip is wide enough that the face is reflecting off of them. For me the verdict is out on the 5 series styling, with this particular car the lines look too busy for me, like there is too much going on.

but yes, i completely agree, on the cars you listed? 20s look small, they need to be just a TAD bigger

Because its an odd size and there are only a few cars that will really use it. I'd say about 85-90% of the vehicles on the market are covered by 20, and 22" so for the wheel manufacturers thats a very small segment of the market to stock components for (remember all the barrels that must be stocked for 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11. etc etc) plus the outers etc etc
I really have been really trying to coax a few manufacturers to invest in this segment because I think if its availible other marques will jump in too.
