M5 wheels are a nice aggressive, (yet still subtle) mod. you can probably find a nice set of used M5 Takeoffs and get them Powdercoated black, to get the look you want. Black 166's look SICK!!! IMHO and I'd recommend getting a nice set of OEM M5 wheels instead of getting reps to avoid the need for hub centric rings.
Or pony up and get yourself some 20's!!!
good luck with the wheel shopping.

Can't go wrong with either choice IMO
166's are cast and 167's are Forged...something to consider...
also, if you do go with 167's, consider a rotor upgraded (slotted/drilled) as well, the 167's expose the rotors much more than the 166's IMO...
GL with your decision...
