Everything is good about OEM M5 166 wheels

Once in a while, I open garage door just to peek at lovely wheels

Good!!! As long as their balanced well there shouldn't be vibration. run flats = bumpy. I have them and can't wait to change em up. BTW what kind of exaust is that?

Forget the fact that I have the 166.... the wheel itself looks fantastic! Its a 19" wheel, but since the design is carried from the hub all the way to the very outter edge of the wheel it gives it a bigger look from a straight on view. Plus from a side view of the wheel from hub to outter edge the spoke graciously curves outward almost like vortex, which looks amazing at low speeds and form does meet function as that same design shows off how wide the wheel is by the steep offset.

I havent found any negatives yet, but then again I just got them, and havent had to get on my hands and knees to clean them, something that I will be dreading I am sure.


Anymore questions?!?!?!

Cheers.
