Have you thought of 128's. They look nice on the E60 and you dont see many around.


These are the 128's which I have on my car..

Most talk on this forum is about the 166's (which I love but I think belong on the M5) and the 172's (which are very popular at the moment.

I don't like the 101's personally and think they would be very hard to clean especially in comparison with the 128's.

Needforspeed, I really to like the 128's - are they 18" or 19"? Your car looks very sharp and very unique. Well done.

Yup I prefer 128 to 166 also. They are 19".

19 inch's - I've not seen another with the same wheels.

With all of the talk about 166's and 175's on the forum I though I was the only one to like the 128's

Thanks for the compliment

Oh... and thanks to Stranger likewise.

I'd go for the 172's. They are rarer and look as good as the 166's IMO.

sunny here in Germany as well. Please take a look at the 166s, i reviewed e60s with a lot of wheels, probably the hamann 20" wheel might lokk a little better imho
Hey you Bavarian, neat ride, who chipped yours?

IMO Hamann is the best in 20"s also for look and the value, you wanted Anniv I or which, before you went for the style 166 BBS? Congrats and greets ats
