Must say, this is a hot combo!

But the 166's must have the Sport Suspension and the tyres should be 245/35 - 275/30 19" non RF.

I'm a 172-fan! I'm not in favour of dedicated M5 wheels on a non-M5 car...

Attachment 28440 I wanted these originaly but Alot of E60 have them and I kinda want to be different.
Attachment 28441 I really like these, there new and different, but the only down side is they dont have any lip on them.
Hey Ali - Just thought I'd throw this out there. The photo's of your 166 wheels are actually the replica 166 wheels. The 166 replica's have a lip around the edge of the wheel, whereas, the OEM wheels are smooth around the edge and have no lip. I'm not sure you're if when you say "lip" with regards to the 172's, if you're comparing them to your photoshop images of the 166's, but thought I'd let you know that the 166 OEM's don't have a lip either. If this isn't what you were referring to, when you say "lip", then disregard this post.

Here's a pic of the MIRO 166 Replica's. You can clearly see the lip around the circumference of the wheel. I don't like the lip that the replica's have.

I did it finally!!-alt_miro_type_318_main_bg_img.jpg

I would go for the 166.

As far as I'm concerned the 172 only works for cars with M-tech kit. That's what I've heard.

All three of them look good. I wish I can have any of the three. Your best option, buy all three and switch them every now and then
