Hello everyone. What do you all think about the look of a non-sport 530i e60 with 166 M5 wheels ? Is it gonna look any good ? I plan to get the wheels first and then get the Mtech and M5 rear bumpers later.
Some pictures would be amazing if anyone has ever done it before.

Thank you! Cheers

Infi

To me, the Style 166 wheels make any E60 look much better and more aggressive. I think that fly wheels improve a car's appearance more than any other single mod and if I were going to suggest an order of appearance mods, fly wheels would be first.

i'd personally get rid of the chrome around the doors first, then wheels and bumpers.

oh, and i highly recommend NOT getting replica 166 wheels. they arent as nice as the original....look bad in my opinion. the m5 replicas are the worst replicas i've seen.

+1. I have never seen a good set of Style 166 reps. The ones that I have seen look like crap and lack the concavity of the real ones. If you want an OEM Style wheel but don't want to spring for the cash for the real thing, one might try the Miro reps 167s which, to me, look a lot like the real Style 167s. Still, there is nothing like genuine BMW wheels if you can afford them.
