Before I purchase the M5 rep 166's, which vendor do you guys prefer to be the best in these sets (as far as the concave and the durability of the rim)? Looking to get a set of 18's with Xi offset on an LCI. Thanks.

I dont recommend rep 166's, as you stated.....they are not as "concave" as the real deal. The 167 reps by Miro are pretty close to looking real, but in the US the 166 reps look like shiet!!! LOL The was a wheel vendor in europe (cant remember the company) that made some pretty decent 166 reps, but doubt you could get them here, w/o hassle, but maybe someone on here my have newer info on that.

you could always pm the vendor and ask about 18" versions..

Has any 5series forum member had any issues with them? Their M5 reps looks awesome, i dont mind getting 18, 19 or even 20inch rims with Xi offset, but I am kind of afraid of any outcome...

customer reviews have been hit and miss...I would communicate with John@eurorev personally to go over concerns you might have initially....I understand your apprehension and glad to see you are doing your homework...GL with your purchase...
