In my honest opinion all those are ugly only the 2 BMW wheels look good and the Maya with the small 5 spoke but i don't like how it is engraved by the lugs.. the lowenharts are jsut to bling trust me I used to have an LDR look alike on mine and those things were BLINGGG...
if moneys not a concern I would look at iForged DPE HRE Hamann..

wheels are the best looking wheels i think now , together with the bbs rx (not sure on the exact name type) and some dpe R6 or R7 wheels and the hres and some hamann models.

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
I agree with Hamann5 - besides the 3 he mentioned, the rest of them look ghetto or look like they belong on pure luxury cars (Benz, Escalades, etc). BMWs are sporty, so sportier rims look more appropriate (BBS, HRE, IForged, etc)

You can scratch 167s off your list. OEM 167s are no good since they're 19"s.

WOW I see what you mean, you do have a tough decision to make, their ALL good looking wheels. but for my two cents I would probably go with the BMW OWM 167, but it is a 19! (I know you like 20inch rim, and their cool, but have you seen the New M5 19inch BMW OEM 166M rim yet? If not, see "jiio's" fine ride above in this post!)
