Well I was having trouble deciding between R10 and 167. I ordered 167 from BMWwheels.com on the Jan 11 and they arrived today! So 167 it is! The boxes are twice as big as the actual wheels but I haven't opened them. I guess too much complaints from monacoblue! I'll take pictures when I unwrap these puppies.


Also, I HATE ups. Bunch of jerks. She was pissed off she had to carry these heavy boxes so she just THREW IT right in front of me on the street and sped off! She didn't even have the decency to bring it to my door. I had to lug the boxes 20 yards to my door.

Does this mean you're going with 167s? I thought you're undecided still thus the poll.

I was undecided, but my door bell rang and my 167 arrived. I can't return them now. So I'm just going to keep them. I edited my original post, but I can't get rid of the pole.

She probably thought you were going to give them back to her because you changed your mind and wanted the R10's and she didn't want to lug them all the way up to your front door just to take them back to the truck

HAHA, nah I never mentioned the return to anyone. I was just contemplating it.

She was just in a fowl mood.

Great wheels. You will love them.
Those wheels are head turners with their crazy shiny rolling and on the other hand you will get a classy-sport look when car is parked.

Looks like the 167s are winning so far.

Double boxed! Their packaging has improved 500%! What, no center caps? Do they just sell them at the dealer?

On mine, caps were dropped free into the boxes, along with the wheels
