Both look great, but I'm partial to the 166 IMHO.

+2,

The 166's look way better in person than photos IMO. Check them out in person and on a car before you buy IMO. Pictures are only so good.

oooo i am a fan of both wheels.. but i have to admit after seeing Marks 128's on his car at the meet back in june.. i love them.. i like the 166's as well, but it would really be a tough decision for me.. sucks for you that you have to pick.. look at pics and see them in person if you can.. then go with what your gut first tells you.. otherwise youll keep going back and forth and not making up your mind like i do ALLLLLLL the time..lol

just adding.. i also think both wheels give a real sporty look to the E60.. combined with classyness...can you add your model, color, etc.. to your signature for us? it would give us all a better picture when answering back..makes things easier btw. .

Like others have said, they are both great looking wheels, but if you want me to choose I would go with the 128's

I guess I'm a fan of the classic 5 spoke...

Both are bad. If you are going OEM, 167's without a doubt!
