I'm currently looking at these wheels on eBay. I'm not interested in replicas at all.

Thanks!

Hey,

What wheels did you end up getting and where did you get them from ? I am in the process as we speak of trying to buy a set of 167's for my 550 and I am torn between $$2500 OEM 167 w/o rubber and $1800 replicas w/ rubber. What is the most noticeable difference, weight, finish, balance...?

167's are my vote. Get a wheel that doesn't come standard on most E60's, except for the M6. That's my vote.

+1 for that

I love my 172M but it's pain to clean
