Festive Greetings All,

I'm looking at getting some genuine 19" 172 Spider Alloys for my 530. I currently have 18" original MV2's which would require a new home. :-)

Anyone selling their 172's?

Thanks in advance


Thanks and enjoy the rest of the holiday season.

I have seen very few members every put their 172s up for sale. They are great wheels. You'll love them.

yeah, its going to be a little tough finding a used set. you might want to go for style 166 m5 wheels, as they are easier to find.

Very true. A lot of M5 owners swap out their Style 166 wheels for expensive, high quality 3 piece forged wheels. That one so much the case with 550i Sport owners, many of whom seem to keep their 172s on as their summer wheels, myself included.

Thanks for the useful updates. Yes, I think the 172's look pretty sweet on the E60 and with the wider front and rear tract im assuming that I will find some more grip.

Have you checked BM Autosport? They are having a fully refurbished set of OEM 172 wheels with tyres for sell. Here.
