Hi,
I just got my 166+UHP mounted shipped to me.
Can I just install myself ? (haven't replaced wheels in long time lol)
or I am better off taking to a Tireshop?
For now I want to install wheels w/o spacers, to see how the look is, 95% might end up with 20mm spacers for sure. Eventually might think about Sport Springs to lower car.
Thanks

Can you let me know where did you purchased your 166+UHP mounted/balanced and the total cost? Also, did you put in new TPM sensor for each wheel?
I'm in NJ and the lowest price I received was from Circle BMW ($395 for the front and $404 for the rear).
I heard from this forum that Quad M have good prices for OEM wheels. I just need to put more mileage on my Dunlop RF before getting the 166+UHP.
Thanks

I got it used from a 530 car. Check BMW roundel magazine (in classifieds once in while u will see M5 166 wheels for $1100-$1200) or M5board.com SALE/WANTED section , there's always some one getting rid of their stock wheels.

looks good coolguy congrats on the 166s. what are you planning to drop it with?
Thanks
Next quick mod is probably 20mm spacers for rear for now.. Cant justify spending $250 for springs and $350 for install for drop yet
Umnitza AngelEyes V2.0 should be here next week.
Mkit (front-only) from quad_m is coming in 2 weeks or so.
JULY IS GOOOOOOOOOD for me
Lots of Mods in 1month haha..

Ya lol.. its never ending
+1. I thought I would be done modding, but I got a few more things up my sleeve..
If you plan to drop, get 12mm spacers for the rear. YOu might rub if you have the 20mm spacers and lowered. choose H&R sports or Eibach Prokit if its your daily car. But for the slammed look, H&R race is the one you want.

I think if you have stock Sport suspension and then add springs, then u will rub on 20mm spacers right?
Mine is non-sport suspension. Monacobmw (530) is using 20mm spacers on his 166+UHP, hes on non-sport suspension, lowered using H&R sport, not rubbing itseems even in bumps.
