The photo shop chop doesn't look that good, but it's hard to say they don't look good when you see this...
Break the status quo (172, 167, etc...), and get what you like... It's your car, your taste, and your $$$.

Do it if you like it. Personally, I dislike a lot of members wheels myself, and I imagine it's the same likewise.
In any case, don't fall into the sheep mentality, get it if looks good to you. You're the one driving the car.

I think this is one of those wheels were tire sizes and stance will make it, or break it.
Here is a E60 Sport Package we installed these rims on. The customer wanted the best ride quality, and did not want to lower it. We ended up going with the taller tires. 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. For cosmetic's, I think it would have looked nicer if we had went with the 245/30/20 and 285/25/20, and lowered it.

Here is my example were stance makes a world of a difference. Both of the cars pictured below have the same wheels ( different finish) and same tire sizes. The black on has not been lowered, and the silver one has.
