ok, I have a 2007 550i sport.

I want 19" x 8.5" front and 9.5" rear, correct?

I like the current 2009 550i sport wheels...are those 172s? Is there a website that shows e60 wheels with pictures and number references?

Thoughts on the current value of my 18" sport wheels with almost brand new Dunlops? Mint condition.

thx

Yes...the M5 wheels are model number 166 (which is what I have) and the 550i sport wheels are the 172's. Either wheel will fit your car...

If you plan on buying try Garry Romani at Newport BMW, he'll sell you OEM parts at 25% off if you mentioned your a memember of this website

below is the style 172

I have the 172's on my car as you can see in my sig, but like the M5 (166) better. I guess I have seen my now for a year and they are getting "old hat"

GO WITH THE 166s! They look so amazing at so many angles.

I noticed Miro sells the M5 replica wheel. Miro seems to get good comments on this forum as to making good wheels and several people have bought the Miro M6 wheel

Anyone have any input on the Miro M5 wheel?
