Hi Guys,

I ordered a 550i Sport and expect delivery in a few weeks. I'm considering putting OEM 166M rims on the car so I want to know where I should look for the best prices (I'm in Northern California). I did a search and came up with Crevier in So Cal, but I think that message might have been many months old.

So, where do people recommend I check?

Thanks,

-Ray

Try Newport, RI BMW. They discount 25%; shipping is very reasonable

Try Tischerbmw.net, you'll find the price for a set is around $1600. Let me know if you have trouble navigating the site.

I think you could also try Tony (Quad M), as I think he's selling OEM rims now too. Heck Ive even seen some on ebay from time to time, if you dont want brand new, take a peek on ebay

member westcoast550 purchased some 166's from Gary at Newport. Same situation, he ordered a 550 sport, but wanted 166's. Shoot him a pm, But i'm sure he'll chime in here eventually....


what are you going to do with your 172's?
