I'm pretty sure these ARE the rims (and brakes) on the E60 M5 !

And if you take a closer look at the pic above you can clearly see it IS the E60 M5!

Isn't style 166 the M5 rim? They are 8.5x19 Front and 9.5x19 Rear on the M5. Have you seen them for sale?

I find the 7 series rims rather similar.

Would you guys get the M5 rims or something aftermarket?

Definitely M5 rims, waiting on them as well. I just hope that they will fit since the fronts are 8,5 wide and the maximum non-M5 series rim from BMW is only 8, so let's keep our fingers crossed.

btw, I am planning on buying them next year around March after the winter for which I will use my OEM rims with winter tires mounted on them.
