Hi fellow E60-members,
I would like see as much as pics possible of the different BMW rims available on the E61.
BTW Anyone know if it's possible to mount the styling 128 OEM rims on the E61 ?
Thanks for the pics of your alloy wheels on an E61!

You can fit all OEM 19" rims on your E61 if you take 4 of the front rims (245s)! This is what a number of the members here in the forum have done -- no doubt they'll respond to your post as well.
You can also go for the normal 245/275 set-up, but will require spacers depending which type you go for.
I personally like the M166 the most (that's why I bought them!!), but also find all the OEM rims look awesome on the M-Sport Touring
( EDIT: I meant all E60 OEM 19" rims, not all BMW OEM 19" rims!)
Here's a selection of E61 with 19", some of them are E60.NET member cars...
128
M166
M167
M172
Alpina classic

Btw: your OEM 128's look great ! They made me wonder how they'd look on my carbon-black M-sport Touring.
CU,
Tom.

Thanks Tom! I just went for the 128's as I wanted some 19" winter rims that were easy to maintain -- I did not give it that much thought, but am now over the moon with them 
They really fit the m-sport look spot-on. IMHO they also look pretty slick/classy for a 5 spoke rim -- I normally find 5 spoke rims look quite agressive, such as the M167's.
I think the 128's are also typically cheaper than the other OEM rims and also soooo much easier to clean than the M166 or M172 rims! The 128's probably stand out a little more, but are also more unique as most m-sport 5ers have OEM "multi-spoke" 18" or 19" rims.
That all being said, the M166's are still #1 for me
Good luck choosing...
cheers, Pete
