I WOULD GO WITH THE REP`S IF I WAS U.... i have them and i couldnt be happyer.... less then half of what the oem would be... and there off set.. how can you go wrong... there miro wheels... listen i have the money for oem.. i just made a smart chose... G/L... if you want check out this site.. modbargains.com
I thought of getting the reps at 1st, and I know I can get a set for like $900-$1000. I live in new york, so the roads sucks, what if one cracks? what if I have fitment issues? and I have read good and bad thing about rep, but I decied to go with OEM, paid $1500+shipping

You will be pleased. I purchased a set of 166 with the M6 offset from Garry about 2 months ago. At first I was concerned with the rears rubbing but I purchased a pair of 275/30 19's and they look great. I probably could have gone with 285's in the rear but didn't want to chance it. I loaded the car down with luggage and took the family to Florida for vacation. The wheels were a fraction of an inch from making contact with the fenders due to the weight and the dynamics of the road. Amazingly enough they didn't rub. Garry is great to deal with and you won't beat his price. The BMW dealer here in NC wanted almost $3000. Pull the trigger and make the purchase.

How much Gary charging for the four RIM with the M6 offsets?

Gary is $1,500 for the 166 rims and $2,200 for the 167 rims. I called him about the M6 rims, I absolutely love how they look. I have not put them on yet though. I am trying to decide on which tires to get. I have read a lot of good things about the Generals, but I am nervous about performance. No matter which tire I get, I'm going with the 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 and I did get the M6 offsets. From the research I've done and what I've been told, I hear you can only go 285 if you get the M5 offsets, which don't stick out as much.
Congrats on the purchase. Miro's are probably great and you likely won't have any issues with them, but OEM are OEM.....worth the extra money. It's even harder a choice with the 167's as the OEM are a lot more expensive!
