+1 one for no 166 reps, OEM only...but OEM 167's or Miro rep 167's are nice as well..

Mine are real OEM 166's. The reps aren't as deep and also don't slope as much as the real ones. Side by side they are really
different. I parked next to an old 330i with rep 166's... side by side, the reps really looks bad.... the driver took on look at my
rims and parked on the other far side of the parking lot!
There is only one 166 style! They are absolutely beautiful and that's one of the reasons, BMW made them for the M5 -- makes that car really shine!!
If you're going for reps, why not go with a different style -- at least those are done well... such as VMR, etc.

I only go for replicas
I have the 166 and I like them.
They are not as deep as the real thing, but if you like the deepness then go for the real thing.

are your 18's or 19's they seem kinda small, also you could use spacers in the back, from the pics that i see, but they look nice tho
