IMHO, They are ugly. They are not distinctive and they look like they belong on a Japanese Sports sedan like the WRX. I can't stand them.
1) No lip
2) The offset makes them look cheap
3) They are a very dull silver, looks like they are cheap fake chrome.
4) They cheapen the car.
5) Did I mention they have no lip.
6) If it's not an M5 you are putting them on, it makes your car look like a wanna be M5. Which IMHO, is a waste of time.
Go aftermarket with much better design. Set your car apart.

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?!?!?!
