Style 5 Wheels?... By any chance are you thinking of the M5 Style #166 Wheels? If so try a search on "#166 wheels." GL!

I was referring to the e39 style 5's. It seems like everyone mods their e60 following a rule book or catalog. I'm not a fan of the e60 m5 or m6 wheels that seem to be very popular. I can specualate and photoshop but i'd like to see the real deal. They'd make a pretty nice set of track wheels. What about some style 160's?

That "rule book" is for your protection so you don't get bullied/flamed at the next meet! lol no im kidding, to each his own!

I think you're referring to these? no? They are pretty nice... but small.

If it is the one in the link I posted above, I believe those are also referred to as M parallels...
