They look really nice, are they M6 offsets?

Thanks to this forum and bimmerfest, I have found invaluable info and materials to allow me begin to make tasteful mods to my new ride. The first of such mods have just been installed - new 166s wrapped with Dunlop Derazzi DZ101 tires in 245/35/19 all around. The rims are reps, of course... but they are sure sweet. Total transformation of a ho-hum 530i with the stock 17"s. I put in a 40% tint all around... yeah, its not the darkest tint but I wanted something uniform and not too dark on my dark mystic blue color. Overall, the two slight mods transform the car nicely. Next mods are going to be very subtle - upgrading the fogs to hyperwhites, changing out interior lights to LEDs and replacing stock lows with 6000K or 8000K HIDs.
Here are some pics... Let me know what you guys think...

Grats dude. I have the same car and wheels. Trust me when I tell you, you're going to be annoyed seeing that 3.5" gap until you drop your car. =p I'm having it done this week. I'll post pics.
Also, why did you go 35 profile in the rear? Thats gonna fubar your speedo.

Welcome to the forum. 166 is a good choice.
