I know I'll never get you to like the 172s better than the 166s but there's no harm in trying to.

all those wheels looks great. its not that i dislike them but i do think the others are simpler with less going on with all those spokes in the 172's. The 128's and the 167's are so easy to clean. 166's and 172's on the other hand im sure are a pain in the ass

Yes, 172s are a major pain the ass to clean. When the guys at the carwash I go to are done with my car I always take a rag and clean all the spots that they miss on my 172s. But I love their look -- nothing else on the road resembles them.

Hey guys... Thanks for the comments. I love the wheels. I originally wanted the m6 look but figured, being that my car is all wheel drive and many people are going down that m6 road, I'd keep it classic looking with uhhmmphhh!.
The rims are style 128 but the offset of a 3 series. And dunlop 245/35/20. They feel good. These will be my "stocks". Thanks to everyone that helped with the info and searches. I might ad spacers to the back.

Definitely add some spacers. It'll look even better.

I was a bit bummed when i got the car and learned all the loop holes in trying tto hook up an xi but after finding out about the 3 series offset, and got wiser and tried something different. And it worked. HA! Great looking wheels with all year control! Love it!!

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.
