I still haven't seen any wheels that I like.

The main reason for going for the E60 was the 166 rims. Those really made our cars look great!

I've get to see any for the new F10 that I like. So far, none make the car look awesome.

+1. None of the new F10 wheels blow me away. Maybe some will look better in person.

I'm waiting for the F10 M5 rims -- I'm sure they'll improve on the 166's, right? :lol

One can only hope.

Frankly, I find most of the F10 wheels to be pretty ho hum. I think that when the F10 rolls out, sales of non OEM wheels for the 5 Series will spike upward.

The one negative (and probably only) feeling I have towards new BMWs is that they all want to wear 19" or 20" wheels. Its simply too large for real world use but look stunning on the new BMW designs. What a catch 22.
