I love the pics of the e60s with the 166s. Howitzer and Chuck W.
It was funny. I showed my wife the two pictures and she said "go with the 166s, the 172s look like they are too hard to clean."
But before all of that she said "what's wrong with your wheels?"
On a sidenote:
285s on the rear are no problem, correct?
Where have most of you had your tires installed on your wheels? Do any of you trust Goodyear, Firestone, or any of those discount tire places?
Thanks

I have the 172 on my car and YES, they are a bugger to clean. That said, I would have it over the 166. Something about the shape of the 172 that really looks nice. 172 would have been better if they were made as 20"s IMHO.
Thats said, if I cant take cleaning the wheels anymore, then I would love to replace them with these. I saw it on Dave 530's car. I really like them a lot but no clue what type they are. Reposting a pic from Dave530's thread. (hope you don't mind it dave)
cheers

NEITHER! Get the 167's if you're going OEM.
The 166's suck and are just boring.

Thanks for that info.
If I do change my wheels, I would go for those. The curve on the spokes make it look nice when the wheels are in motion. Dave530 has a picture where is far is doing a power run with those wheels and man, its sexy.!! Better victoria secret catalogue any day.
cheers
