I'm thinking about getting M166 or M167 wheels for my stock 2004 530. Question to you all: Will these wheels make me look like a poser, given that the rest of my car is stock?
If this is a bad idea, any suggestions on where to start with mods?
I'm in Canada and will be using my current 17" wheels as my winter wheels, but might have to buy reps as anything bigger than 18" will likely get chewed up by the potholes and frost heaves up here. Thanks for the input!

No, you won't look like a poser. You'll look like someone with good taste in wheels. Get what you like and enjoy. Cheers.
