After the hassle I went through to get my (winter set-up) 128 19s T?V-approved on my Touring with 15mm spacers, I have decided to get rid of my M5 rims and replace them with another set of OEM rims the same size as my 128s, i.e. with ET32 on the rear. This means the following rims are possible: M172, M101 and 190. The M101 is too expensive and not really my taste, so my short list is the M172 or the 190. I really can't decide if I like the type 190 or not! What would you choose??
The M172 looks like this:
The 190 looks like this: (sorry about the pic -- hardly any out there!) http://img519.imageshack.us/slideshow/player.php?id=img519/7340/1223989398otz.smil
And the 190 on an E92 (-- I'm really struggling to find pics of these rims!!) More pics here
What do you think of the type 190...
or :thumbsdown: ??
thanks

You're right about those rims being hard to find!
For the E60, the style 190 is the same size as the styles 128, M172 and M101. I have fitted the style 128 (front 245 / rear 275) on my Touring with no spacers on the front and with 15mm spacers on the rear. This set-up has been approved by T?V.
The style 190 is normally about ?1000 more expensive than the other OEM rims, but salesafter are offering them for 2500 at the moment, which is only 200 more than the M172s.
Do you think the style 190 is or :thumbsdown: ??

or :thumbsdown: ??Definetely NOT style 190. They look way too much 'pimp' imo. It looks like an after market wheel (imo!).
Sold them once on a titansilver 335Ci and made the car look 'ghetto'. Stick with the 172's!
Btw, the style 190 may look nice on photo, but I think it looks not nearly as good as in real...

Thanks guys, message is clear
I like the multi-spoke look, like my M5 rims, but I agree with what you said -- the 190s somehow look aftermarket and bling! Not my style, so I guess I'll order the M172s...

Good to see that there are more ppl with good taste
Btw, anyone interested in a 17 inch winter set-up for an e90? Got a set on my temporary car...

In response to your PM, which I'm too lazy to open
, my dealer returned the wrong wheels to me, so I could not take pics of my M5 rims. I will collect them this saturday, assuming my dealer gets it right this time!
