I've really taken a liking to the 167 style wheels. I plan on keeping my sport suspension and only will add the oem carbon fiber front piece(painted to match though). does anyone have a pic of a stock body apline white with sport suspension on 167 style wheels?? if not white than any other color would do as long as its a stock body on sport suspension. it would help me out a lot.

also is there a big difference between the look of replicas and oem? i read about the risk of vibration issues but the cost is a huge difference between the two.

any thoughts on this ebay auction??

nice picture, thanks for all the replies. i was thinking the same thing when i saw the picture though, that it comes in 19s only. i assume your 20s are replicas and that you are having problems with them??

Hi I am new to this forum. I like the 167 wheels too. I drive a 2007 530xi, will those fit my car? Also what are the advantages of OEM wheels, replicas, and the wheels listed in the BMW accessories catalogue? Thanks!

Ken
