Yes, lots of people on this board have them. I have never seen them on another non M5 E60 cruising near me.
VIVA 166's!!

. That's where I got the idea from anyway (VT 
) Other than M5s I've never seen one in a non-M5 in my day-to-day driving. I see a lot of wheels with the lips in rice rockets and other euro tuners though.

166:
Upside:
- Awesome look
- Easy to clean as long as you have a wheel brush
Downside:
- Common look
- Hard to clean w/o wheel brush
- Prone to curb rash easily. Maybe I should blame my wife
- Heavy
I'd go for 167. Now I need to wait.

166s are nice, but does not stand out, especially if you are at a meet.
