Hello

I've seen already a lot of 166s replicas but in my opinion there are still (major) differences.
Can somebody give me an overall scheme of what you can get and what the best: looking, trustfull, price, color and most important of all the best copy are.
And then: what is your opinion on replicas?

Thanks in advance

I would check out bmwwheels.com. They have original factory wheels at very good prices the 8.5X19 166's are $356 but they may not fit the XI's because of the offset requirements. BMW dealer said only 18's will fit XI models :thumbsdown:

19's will fit the Xi series. You have to get at least an offset of 38mm, as the offset on the Xi series is 43mm. The standard RWD 530i has an offset of 20mm. I also suggest not getting a staggered set up with the xi series. I would stick to 245/35/19 with 19x8.5, ET 38 and Center Bore of 72.6.
