I didn't think they were stock on anything but they were an optional wheel. They have sizes for the 5 and 7 I think.

It seems so, from the bit of research that I have done these are BBS rims made as OEM factory equipment for BMW.

I am thinking of putting these on my 545 sport, they are 19/8 in the front and 19/9.5 in the rear, I have not seen them in person as of yet, has anyone seen these on an e60? I cant even find a pic of them on a vehicle.

I use them (unstaggered) for my winter tires (Blizzaks) and they look so good I'm thinking of selling my OEM 166s. Mine are reps made in Italy with OEM fitment, bore size, lugs, caps and emblems. I bought them from Wheels & Caps but Lakeshore Wheel also carries them if you don't want OEM. I paid $499 including shipping 2 months ago but don't know what the deals ar enow. Fantastic quality and awesome looking wheels IMO.

I have these on my '07 550i, great wheel. Be prepared to pay a great deal for OEM replacement. I cracked my front one going over a pothole and cost me about 1k to replace.

Been there with OEM also. Especially now in the mid Atlantic. Gov't can't do anything including keeping decent roads- not just potholes. Lost an AMG rim on wife's MB recently, just months after a blow out of an almost new Conti on a pothole. Must drive defensively these days as it isn't cheap with tire/rim/alignment if you're lucky enough not to wack any suspension bits...

Oh well-
