I don't like any of them. I'm partial to the Style 124's that will be on the 535i Sport. If getting the 550i Sport I would switch out the 172's for the 166's.

None of them - I do not see the ones included with the 2008 550i Sport Package.

None of these wheel will catch people's eyes. I picked Style 246, it's a facelift for Style 123, and I like it better than others.

Well. They are not new... they have been around for yonks (in Europe at least). You were always able to order these with the M-Sport package (there is/was a choice of 18" with RFT or the 19" with normal tyres).

The 17" 244's with 225/50 tyres wheels look good and for our shitty roads
they would not be trendy for bad tramlining.

But otherwise the 247's with 245/40 F and 275/35 R!

I kinda liked the 244's until I found out they were 17". The 246's are okay. I really don't like any of them.
