My Ride: Expected delivery on 15 Jan 2007 525I Olivian Green, Beige Interior, PP, CWP, PDC, SP, Rear shades,heated rear seats, Ipod fitted, Nav, Oem Rims 166, Xenon Lights, Wood grain package, illuminated door sills
What up family,
I recently posted a topic about what rims to purchase for my car, the 166, 167, or 172's. I asked if anyone had seen pics of any of these rims on a olivian green E60. And of course no one had, so I took it upon my self to find a way to visualize these rims on a Olivian Green E60, and here they are. I am new to photoshop so the pics might not be all that great, but you can help and edit them if you know how. But this give you a idea of how they would look.
So let me know what you think 
I wanted these originaly but Alot of E60 have them and I kinda want to be different.
I really like these, there new and different, but the only down side is they dont have any lip on them.
And these are the most aggressive ones and give the car a more sporty look and have the lip. And they look bigger because of the space between the rim. Which in trun would make me get a bigger brake system for the look.
So take a look and let me know what you think.
Thanks,
ALI

Check Alts 530i gallery out: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?automodule...si&img=2038
Not 100% what the colour is, but must be pretty close to how yours would look like with M166s - I think it looks fantastic
As for your comment about 166s being common, that's (IMHO) not the case in Germany where we are. The 172s are probably more common in Germany because you do not need to get T?V (German authorities) approval, as they are available for the E60, i.e. buy them and stick them on without going through all the tests and paper-work.
