Well it was long overdue, after ordering a set of Replica M6 Wheels then having to wait 6 weeks cause the wheels were on back order, thanks to Garry from Newport, I am sitting on my new 166's as of today. So I thought I would just drop a few pics from my camera phone, better pics to come later.
I know that these wheels are nothing new, but in Denver you hardly ever see them or an M5, and they look GOOOOD in real life, so I am very happy
Now If I can just get Tony to play nice and send me my long overdue M-Kit,
then Ill be on cloud 9. COM'N TONY SHOW ME SOME LUV!!!!!! 
I feel like a kid waiting for Santa. 
Anyway thanks for all the folks here that pushed me to OEM as "They're REAL (wheels) and they're SPECTACULAR!!!

Wow what great responses and questions, thanks guys!!!!! Ill try to respond to most in this one post so I dont bog this board down, haha.
Sasq - I HIGHLY recommend Garry 
as not only was the price good, but when he estimated how long I would have to wait he was within a day of my shipment, even through the rear had to come from Germany becuase of the different offset. Now that's what I call knowing your business, MANY THANKS GARRY! 
Aside from the 25% discount you pay, there's no sales tax if you live somwhere's else.
As for the tires I decided to go with Falken ST115 from discounttiredirect.com 245 and 275 respectively. This will be my 3rd or 4th set of Falkens and I really like them as a brand and price was good $750 shipped
Yes very pleased that I went with the M6 offsets as they fit just perfect, thanks for the insight for sure

Im really interested in getting the m166 for my white 525i '06. do u recommend garry and what price did you get them for. What type of tires did you get and did you get a good deal? Im not real sure about all the offsets and stuff but if I could ask you for any advice you can shed that would be great. thanks and enjoy your new shoes!

Loving those rims! It looks especially nice with the Eibach drop. I just might have to pull my Eibach's out of their box and install them, after all!
So I say "Do it, DO IT"
