My Ride: 04 BMW 530i, Mtech kit, changed angel eye bulb to LED (white but for some reason it looks blue)
This is my very first post/topic (newbie) since I joined this forum and absolutely love this place! I have a 530i with mtech kit and I?m going thru a little issue. My car has the stock 17" wheels and I?m having a hard time trying to choose which one of these two wheels would look nicer. I?m hoping you guys can help me decide which one to get, after all is abvious you guys have good taste, most of us drive E60's.

Welcome to the forum, enjoy your time.
Get 172's, 166's, or 167's whichever one you pick your car will look like a third of the cars here. Just remember, you're an individual, just like everyone else.

My Ride: See my signature
The wheel on the left is a Style 172 OEM wheel. It is standard equipmemt on the current 550i Sport. That's my wheel and Iove it. But a word of warning: 172s are very difficult to clean. Style 167s (M6) wheels are also striking and much much easier to clean. Many many members prefer the Style 166 (M5) wheels as well.
