Hello

Does anyone have any clear pictues of a 550 with 166 M5 wheels on it? I am thinking of changing from my 172's to 166.

Also they say the offset is different from a M5 166 and a M6 166....what the H does that mean?

Thanks

No way, don't change those 172's. Not that I do not like the 166's but 172's are hot!

I beg to differ! 172's are aight but the 166's are dope!! OP, change it! You won't be disappointed.

In a nut shell the M6 offsets (rear only, fronts the same) are more aggressive looking; meaning the rears are wider apart from each other. It'll give it almost a flush look to your fenders. The M5 offset on the other hand are a little tucked, like mine. Personally I wish I had gotten the M6 offset. At the time of my purchase the M6 was a special order item and I couldn't wait.


FYI, M5 offset ET 28 whereas, the M6 offset are ET 17.
