[font="'Comic Sans MS"]The 172's are my all time favourite (I would even want them on my M5 when I get one), but I think the 124's are best suited to that car colour, especially with your tinted windows. Don't like the aftermarket ones one bit. [/font]
[font="'Comic Sans MS"]I think if you had the sport bodykit, the 172's would have been spot on, even for that car colour.[/font]

[font="'Comic Sans MS"]I think the 166's only look good on blue, white or grey/silver e60's.[/font]

[font="'Comic Sans MS"]The good thing about the 172's is that the spokes are so close that you can fit brake dust covers behind them and get away with no one being able to see them. Sparkling clean wheels 24/7, no detrimental impact. [/font]

I think 172s look the best on your car.

I love the feedback! Please keep it coming. It's a tough decision to make. I am definitely ordering the oem Mtech when funds allow. The thing I didn't like with the 172's was the lack of concavity. I love the concavity of the 166's but don't know if it quite works. I also agree that the 124's may be my favorite without the body kit. However, I also thought that the Iforged would be a definite favorite. Maybe if I had the centers redone in brushed aluminum finish, they would be???

definitely 172's. I bought your wheels and they fit and look perfect on bimmer (2007 530xi)!! btw, why did have black wheel bolts up front and chrome bolts in the rear in your 172's?

Hi Hitesh... I am glad you are enjoying the wheels. The reason why I had two different lugs is because I had a 15mm spacer in the rear that came with chrome lugs (unknowingly) and the fronts were factory black lugs.
