So did you finally get the 166's on your car? I'm in the same boat right now
wondering whether to get the 172's or 166's....

I'm in KL (Malaysia) on a business trip and noticed that LOTS of E60's here
have 166s... it's like 50% of all the E60s that I see on the street!

Anyways, I'm thinking what would look nice on my Titanium Silver 520d...

Its a hard choice. If your trying to achieve the M5 look go with the 166's if not go with the 172's. From where Im from I see more 166's then 172's, personaly I'd prob go with the 172's. GL!

Not even close. The 166's are more aggressive looking.
This is an old shot of member "delje08's" car, before he super modded it.
12mm spacers push the rear wheels to the fender...juuuuust right!

Those were my 12mm spacers that I sold to VT(before I got my M166s and coilovers)
