HELP! 19" or 20" Velgen VMB5 or VMB7 on G37 Sedan

As the title states, I'm looking for opinions on the Velgen VMB5 or VMB7 wheels (gunmetal) on the sedan pictured below. I'm also undecided on 19" or 20" wheels. I'm ready to buy NOW. I'm dropped on Swift Springs. I know there is a wealth of information on this forum already, and I've read as much as I could handle over the last couple of days along with looking at so many google images to the point of alienating my wife . I know 19s may be the more logical choice. They look good on the G sedan, they are cheaper, and will probably have slightly better ride quality. BUT, there's just something about 20's But, do 20's look too big? Are 19's better? Do 20's look better still? VMB5 or VMB7? I know this is a highly subjective matter, but HELP a brother out!!! Any opinions on this will be GREATLY appreciated.

I personally choose VMB7's over VMB5's. I love the look of the VMB7s and if i ever find a used set in decent condition, I'll def buy it.

Look in the Media Share forum in the 19" and 20" folders, there may be pictures there.

I already looked in both the 19" and 20" wheel threads and am more confused than ever. 🤔 There were similar setups....and the one that comes to mind is Daddy Fat Sacs' sedan. He's got the 20" VMB7s (his are a copper color though) and his set up looks great. I haven't found anyone with a Sedan and 20" gunmetal VMB5s.....only silver.

Looks sweet, no doubt. But, those 20's almost look too big. These cars are dropped a bit lower than me though.

Nick, with a Swift drop I'd lean toward 19s, if you have plans to drop deeper in the future on coilovers, then 20s would be on point. 19s are a good middle ground and will look great regardless, but 20s can look a bit off on milder setups IMO. And the bit taller sidewalls will help (albeit minimally) on the firmness of the drive.

Thanks for the advice. That is definitely something I considered and am still considering. But after seeing a few guys with Swift and Eibach drops and 20" wheels here in the forum....it's got me leaning toward the 20s....I like the look. If I'm not mistaken, Furlow is dropped on Swifts with 20's and I love the look of his set up.

Part of me is considering to just split the difference and go with the Velgen VMB6 in matte gunmetal...... Looks amazing on this BMW.......
