Where did you get your M5 166's? How much did you pay?
I am going to buy some for my 545i Sport Suspension but deciding on M6 offset with 19" or 20". Need to know where everyone is getting good deals on them.
Your 550 looks very nice, I need tint on my windows as well but it just looks classy with no tint in my opinion.

Thanks!!!
I got my 166s from ebay. I watched literally twice a day for a set of 166s in stellar condition to come up with buy it now or best offer option. There were no scratches and some VERY minor curb wear which was repaired by a reputable source. I paid 1450 for the wheels which included the stems and tires in fantastic shape which was an even bettter deal if I could have actually used the tires.

^^ what he said. Garry great.
166 only come in 19" unless you buy replicas. Stick to oem. There are two offsets, an M5 offset which will require 12mm spacers in the rear if you want the aggressive look or M6 offset no need for spacers.
Ride looks nice.
