OK - this is just me - but if I was going to run 166's I would go 19", especially if you want to put your car back to resemble stock.

i'd go 19's but i havent seen any decent looking 166 replicas....in fact they look horrible.
may want to go with 172 replicas instead.

Woohoo! Those are some nice looking wheels. Maybe you could put your name down on the AluFelgen SF-71 20" list and see if you can help us get some of those instead. Either way though - you can't go wrong.

That's the setup I have on my car and I've gotten plenty compliments on them. The concavity of these wheels stand out for sure.
