My Ride: E60 530Dse
Hi there,
I've always wanted the M5 wheels on my car but now I've gone and seen a e60 with the M6 wheels on and it did look really nice...
I've done some snooping around on here to see if I can find some pics of e60's with M6 wheels on and I think they look de bomb with them on...
Now I'm torn between having M5 or M6 wheels. I have a Siler/Grey 530d with the Msport wheels, would the M6 wheels make the discs look too small?
Which do you think are best? Any thoughts would be most welcome
Even better if you could get a picture of a silver/grey e60 with them on, I can only find a silver car with M6 wheels on on here...

I would go for the style 166's every time. For me, the M6 wheels just don't look right on an E60 but the 166's really suit it.

This is a very biased group of folks here. You will find that the 166s will win out.

Well I've read a few posts and in those posts the M6 style rim wins out.... the M5 wheel is so over done but it does look good..

I parked next to a M6 last weekend and compared 166/167 right next to each other. I just think the 167 are suited for the M6 and the 166 are perfect for the e60/M5. Look's like that how the poll is breaking and that not surprising - -I have not seen a stampeed to go order 167 like we've seen on the forum for 166's over the last few months. In the end, it's whatever suites your taste.

Where did you get those from and do you have any pics of them on a car?
