Hi,

Can anyone out there help me? I am after a set of original 172 alloys for my 530d (06 plate) - is anyone selling them or know anyone who can help?

If so, please feel free to call me on 07803959116?

Thanks

these are not m5 rims, they normally come with 550 sport.

i like those wheels also, but i like the m5 ones better. good luck finding them.

M5 wheels are style 166.

Post LCI 550i Sport wheels are style 172, which is what you have pictured.

M6 wheels are style 167.

I love my 172s but would not turn down a set of 167s. I am really into the look of the 172s because nothing else on the road looks like them but they are a serious PITA to clean.

I bought mine here Sales After Highly recomended. Here's a direct link http://www.salesafter.de/index.php?id=60

Edit: Currently you can get them with Falken for 2199, 99 Euros or with Dunlop for 2299,99 Euros.

(In Europe they don't come as standard on any model but are optional for all E60 M-sport models)

Gary does not ship overseas, unfortunately for some.

I'd prefer 167s to 172s, they look too hard to clean.
