My Ride: 2008 550i ZSP with Style 167 wheels
Finally! I took delivery of my Space Gray 550i this afternoon. I've only driven 10 miles so far, and have lots to learn. This is a complex car indeed; manual required. No pictures to speak of yet, but I did snap a quick one before dark. The 167's look great, and I'm very pleased with my selection.
Thanks to all for your suggestions and support. Let the fun begin!

Well I must say that I love the 167's. Youre car is beautiful.
I want the 167's for my car. What is the likelyhood that my dealer will take the brand new 172's on trade for the 167's? Is this something I would have to do somehwere else? I hope I dont have to buy the 167's and be left to throw out the 172's.... How does this work?
I want the 167's!!

Looks beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!! I really like space grey. It shows the contours of the body quite well. The wheels look great. What did they cost? Did they buy your 172's?

Thanks for all the nice comments. And Rudy, I will be around. My work and driving pleasure interfere with one another. But I am planning a business trip and intend to drive instead of fly! 
So far, everyone who's seen the car has said "nice wheels!" I could have saved tens of thousands of dollars and just gotten a set of 167's!
The 167's were purchased these from Garry at BMW of Newport. See the sticky in the Parts, Accessories and Mods forum. My dealer did not take the 172's in trade, and I plan on selling them.
