I'll buy a set of spinners just for the Meet & Greet events
huh? I dont have spinners. None of us do, just 20s or 21s. Instead of going for the OEM look, most members with 20s go for a unique and aggressive look.
I don't know what you are smoking Rizbel... but can I have some

Hey Zuppy, no really.. tell us how you really feel

Honestly, please.

vish, you cant go wrong with 166 at all. And dont worry about your car not being an M5 or wuteva, for as long as you are not badging your ride to be an M5. I have the 166 and till this day, I still get compliments. In no way does it look cheap or "cheapen the car" (the only way to do that is to rip your BMW badge off, and put Honda Rims on it)

I chose the 166 because for a daily driver, it was a solid wheel. Fancy enough to say Bmw, but not too crazy to look like some futuristic Ps3 game cover. I looked into aftermarket esp with lips, but driving in NYC and dealing with the road dirt/grime/and wuteva was just a pain

no issues with cleaning the 166, get a brush or get someone to clean it for you =)

good luck !
i have made a decision today , i will get the Breyton for sales and i ordered already the 166 thanks Guys for supporting me

Hi ,

My next dream mod is to have the 166 original wheel , please tell me what's good and no good about it .

thk
I think its a great looking wheel, especially how it bends in from the side view it makes the wheel look very deeeep!!! I only wish they made them in OEM 20".....and they are hard to clean compared to some rims. Other then that I have no complaints, well worth the investment.

Honestly, if you're going to do OEM 19's, I like the 167's the best. Not as many people have them on their E60's and it's a different look. This is the picture that sold me way back when.

I agree I love the 167s. I have Zenettis but I contemplated getting these. If you are going to get the 166s powdercoat them if you can. Not AS many people have them and it looks sexy as hell...or be really different and paint them pink...youll appeal more to some people on this forum jk.

I like your wheels (got lips) . What are they?
I have 20" spinners I put on. They match my bling bling and I can chop my vegetables with them.

I like both the 166 and 167. Unfortunately for me my choices are more limited because I have the XI. I have seen 167 reps on the XI so I know they exist, but I haven't seen any 166's for it.
