Hi guys ! i would like to know from you what you would choose if you had the choice between
20" BMW 166 imitation wheels (cause this doesnt exist in OEM form) or the OEM BMW 19" wheels.

I have seen the 20" 166 wheels and they look very nice since they are large. But of course they dont have the deep dish look.

So irrespective of quality (cause that is reflected in the price), which one would u choose?

I should go for the 19" OEMS because of the deep fish look, the driving quality and because the 20's are replicas and read on this forum they give a lot of vibrating malfunctions...

So go for the nice 19" one's

Probably OEM to ensure no problems, but the 20" wheels look sweet.
