I have read that the MY '09 M6 will get a new wheel design.

Anyone have any pictures?

They will most likely fit the E60 as well as the current M5/M6 wheels.

Yeah, they are surprisingly lame.

But good for the E60 as well as the 166's and 167's.

Some like it, some it not/hot.

The new ones (Style ???) do look like some older BMW wheels.

They look a lot like the E39 M5 wheels. Still looks good, though.
