Alan,
You've seen the 166s in person yet you can't still decide?

If you take away the 7-series issue, they both look more beautiful than most other wheels. I would have a difficult problem deciding as well, although I went with the 166s as they are a little more fun for the 5-series.

166 all the way baby. It's the most affordable wheel mod compared to other brands and Rad 10, etc.
If you have money, go for Rad 10 although numbers of members here using it grow like bad weed, but it looks reaaaaallly nice!
Does anyone how any wheel removal contractor who can remove 4 wheels with wheel lock in 30 seconds? I want to hire them

Personally coming from a Mercedes background for my last 4 vehicles, I would go with the 95 wheels. I actually would like the 121 wheels from the 6 series. This is for a 5 without the M-sport front.
If I did have the M-sport body, then the 166 would look better as they are sportier. The 95 wheels are more stately.
