Does this mean that the 135s only take run flats? If that's the case then Im definitally going with the 166.

This is 1 thing that I will never get on the internet is the rims. Itis too risky to get them on the net you just don`t know what they will send you, best bet is to find a website that sells the rims near you home and then phone them up and ask if they have the rims in stock and get them to save it for you to see if they have them.
Then have a nice Saturday drive to the tyre shop and check them out. If they look good then get them.
I always get the little things on the internet not big things.

166 look the best IMHO because they come in a proper width. The 135's look fab but too narrow at 245 for back end of E60.

Is the part number for the 135s with 20mm offset still accurate? Another thread reported a change to this part number: 36 11 8 036 570

Well I have decided to go with the 166. Thanks all for your help!

I was going to get the wheels from bmwwheels.com, but my local tire shop, American Tires, said they can get me brand new oem 166 cheaper than bmwwheels.com. So I will be getting the 166 from them.

Hmmm, no offense, but I'd stick to my 166s. Looks more aggressive IMHO.
