Dont quote me on this as far as exact measurements, but the M6 Offset (Et17) sits 11mm wider then standard 166 wheels (ET28). So the rear wheels actually looks more flush to the fender.

M5 wheels are perfectly designed for the 5 and I have to say, more-so on Silver. Congrats!

... "They're REAL (wheels) and they're SPECTACULAR!!!


When it comes to your wheels, did you have to trip and push your hands into them to ensure they're REAL? Obviously, they're spectacular.

wow, the cell phone pics don't do the rims justice. *hint hint*

congrats on the shoes, they look great on your color ride. if i were going OEM, those would have been the exact rims and offsets i would have put on mine as well.

and yea, i'm waiting for my kit from tony also...

+1, members that go with the ET28 (M5) sometimes end up putting spacers on to get the look the ET17 (M6) would give you without spacers....
