For anyone who has this setup or has insight into the matter... I'm about to buy 166 wheels and want to know if it's going to make my car feel slow. I have an M54 engine 525i (~190hp). Thoughts? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

If anything, a wheel that comes standard on the M5 beast should make your car "feel FAST"!! lol!

It's not the style man, the wheels weigh ~29 pounds a piece. Compare that to a BBS lightweight weighing around 20 pounds a piece. The reason it's on an M5 is because it has about 12345 times more power than my car (hyperbole).
