I currently have Forgestar f14 in silver in 19x9 and 19x10 on my jet black e60 lci 550i. Stopped by a local dealer today who had an m5 with the 166's. Wife thought my forgestars looked better but I am not so sure. She is normally always right though. What are your thoughts

I had 166, though they look nice and have amazing concaveness, I still hated cleaning them. Also they are heavier.

My current setup is the same as yours. I really wish they were more concave. According to TireRack, most BBS wheels are Low pressure cast wheels, but forgestars are rotary forged. Though they are still cast wheels, they are a little more stronger and lighter.

My conclusion, you should powder coat your forgestar f14 to matte charcoal / or titanium gun metal and I think they would look sick with your jet black car.

I'd ditch the forgestars and pick up the 166's. I never heard of anybody complain about them and they are by far better looking. 10 straight spokes? How hard can that be to maintain? I'm not even a fan of the 111's but I would rock those before the forgestars.

Yea, the only thing I wish about my 166's is that they were 20's. Beyond that, they're pretty awesome and I have had them for like 3 yrs now and I still get compliments on them.
