My Ride: E61 - 525Da with sports pack & some more stuff (color = carbon black with kastanjebraun leather)
Default

It's time for me to decide on what kind of rimms to order for my new carbon black E61,
still doubting between M5 or M6 rimms (18") .
Does anyone have pics of these ?
Other (better) suggestions ?

I know what your are gonna say, post this on the E61 forum. But I'm hoping you E60 guys also
have nice rimms ?

definitely M5 166 style for the E61..... the M6 is way too much sporty

If you are already planning to spend that much for a new set of wheels, why not go for aftermarkets. At this price range, aftermarket wheels tend to be of higher quality and much lighter, hence, providing better handling capability.

One more vote for Styling 166 rims.

I saw a 5??i today with those rims, they are really good looking,
even better looking in real than in pics.

The M6 rims, in my mind, are way too open.

I would like the see a M6 with M5 rims!
