Hi everyone, there are lots of posts on XI cars and their different offset with RIMS, but I'm still having a hard time finding the info I need.

I am looking for a set of 166 or 167's for my car. Is it even possible in these rims with the right offset? I haven't been able to find all the info I was looking for.

Thanks.

Only replica wheels are available in the correct offset.

The Miro 167 reps are pretty good . ... I was gonna paste the link from the Miro website but I didnt see it under their products. Have they been discontinued?

What did yours end up costing you? Any idea on the weight of them vs. OEM?

Im not sure about the weight but I got the wheels and tires (mounted and balanced), H&R's (installed), and tints for $2100.

Check out the Velocity Motoring brand. They have the correct offsets, and they are a reputable rep maker. And the rims are hub-centric.

I checked them out earlier in the week, I saw them on another XI post. They don't have any replicas that look like the 166 or 167's on their website.

I think there are only 167 reps from Miro for the Xi.

What kind of drop are you running/planning to run?
