Anyone upgraded their wheels from M135's to M172's in the UK? If so did you purchase from a dealer or via a third party and what cost are you looking at for wheels and tyres.

Feel the need to mod

If you feel the need to mod, go aftermarket imho.
Just be different (to quote somebody from the forum)

Don't know where to get them in the UK...(I'm in Canada).....

But I can say this....DO IT !!!!

I kept my 135s as winter wheels and got the 172s as summer wheels!!!

They look HOT !! and you don't see that many E60s with those wheels....

Good choice...post some pics after you get them
