Breyton GTS in Gunmetal. Here...go through this members Gallery. These wheels look amazing on the E60. And for $1600, you can't beat it! This member is running 295/25/20 in the rear too!

OK... after reading tirerack wheel details, it looks like the wheels are shipped WITH spacers.

I have a 2004 and I have tpms
....I sure hope not. I am not sure why you'd be getting TPMS for you car when it uses the FTM system with the ABS. Your current OEM wheels shouldn't have sensors in them. I am not sure why no one else mentioned this to you prior. You don't need them! C, you are slackin'!

This is good to know... Thanks Dave. So should I get anything extra other than wheels and valves when I order from Garry or am I good to go?

well guys i have changed my mind after looking through the m6 rims thread lol, i really want the 167's and just because they cost $800 more im not going to let that stop me from getting them 
i mean the 166's look nice and all but to me the 167's are much better looking and the wheels i have wanted ever since i bought this car, not to mention they are also stronger and lighter. this might sound funny to some of you but heres my plan.... im gonna buy them in pairs, that way my account doesnt take a huge hit all at once and the wife wont notice it as much either i wasnt planning on putting my wheels on until spring anyway so this should work.
