IMO both are ugly, 129 uglier....that is why so many people change out these wheels.

They're both bad, but I like the 129 more.

both are bad, but those 129s are worse. Its a real generic design for such a nice car. A real shame, but they make great snow wheels!

I like the 122's much better than the 129's. For standard 17" wheels that came with the car, I prefer the 138's over both.

Any 17" rim looks horrible on the e60. Personally I wish that I could buy 19" winter rims but they don't make tires to fit them.

Maybe I am weird, the style 122 goes with the overall design of E60 IMO. I used to like big rims + low profile tires back 10+ years ago but not anymore. I start to use mostly 17 or 18 inches wheels about 7 years ago. Maybe too many ghetto looking so call "pimp" car uses big-o-rims. Especially those in chromes! loud out ghetto music!

Nobody here think low profile + big rims are out dated? or just me, I am out dated!!

Both are not good looking at all. I installed a set of M 172's on mine.
