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.

138 is good too, I agree. It looks similar to 122 didn't it?
Yes similar to the 122's but the spokes are more triangular and curved so IMO it gives it a bit more style. If you haven't browsed the information section of this site (different area than the forums), it has excellent pics of most of the standard OEM wheels.

I agree that many cars owners (not so much E60 owners) take the rim size and low profile to the extreme. I think there is a fine balance depending on the car. But IMO, a clear indication of going to far over the edge is when you start sacraficing ride quality and performance for supersized rims and '0' profile tires.

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.
I actually thought I was getting 245s all round and only reaslised yesterday they had 275s on the rear

My car came stock with these (not sure of the style #). I like these better than 122's or 129's. I ended up changing them anyway.
