Yeah I know... strange... I just found out the other day that M5 Style 166 wheel also an option for the M6, not only that we can simply fit either m166 or m167 to M5 or M6 but they are available w/ their specific rear offset too...
...somethin' new everyday...

My Ride: E60 530xd, M-Pack, auto-gearbox and the others :)
The advantage of those weels is better look in reality than on photos. But even in pics - AWESOME suit, dude!

Just not my thing. Also, while the 167s will fit on an M5, they are not a factory option.

L,
Do you run RFT originally? Could the left/right flex roll fell 'cuz the GE UHP sidewall not as stiff as the RFTs?

My Ride: 07' 550i, Jet Black, Sport Pack, Comfort seats, Logic 7, PDC, Nav/Sat - stock for now
I know, I have heard before from a few buddies that the M6 wheels should stay on the M6. I looked around at different wheels but, the replicas just do it for me. I didn't want all black wheels as it may look to "Flash", and I didn't want chrome because I find there is way too much chrome out there. As well these are easy to clean.
I know everyone boy and his dog is getting the M-tech kit, but not in Canada, it is still pretty new here, so what the hell. May as well put lipstick on the pig.

I personally am not normally a fan of the 167s on a E60.
However this is the first time I have seen them on a non-M Sport car. They look great especially with the black.
Dont buy the M tech kit.
