I've been looking around for the M5 rep rims style 166 for my e60. I have all wheel drive and would like to know if there is any available out there?

Some dorks on craigslist said the staggered rims would fit and they are out in california. :thumbsdown:


I messaged Mr. Rooski (V_The Russian) asking him for advice and he had said there is none available for us Xi owners. Am I able to get custom made from a vendor?

Thanks guys.

I have never seen a 166 OEM or rep option with an xi offset

be weary of anyone stating they do

look at other options like miro or VMR

Try BMW of Newport in Rhode Island. They helped me when i was looking for my 2007530XI and I ended up with M style 135's. They had a member discount and were the only ones who seemed to have the right answers. i forgot the guy's name but he has posted here before.

Thank you both. Looks more and more like to me as I get close to my lease end, I will have to get rid of this Xi and go with the RWD. Too many limited options on the Xi for me to do any modding.

BMW's upgraded 124 wheels in XI fitment are a staggered setup, as are offerings from tons of vendors with the XI offsets.

Can't imagine your getting full value out of the xDrive in Orlando anyway!

there are many excellent wheel choices for the xi

however, there are few suspension options for the xi

if you move to RWD, make the most of it and get the sport pkg

Very true about suspension options, and relatively no quad exhausts for Xi's. Definately looking at the sports package with the RWD.
