are you referring to just wheels or wheels + tires (M5 tires)

member ITNurse's set-up on his 535i (OEM 166 Wheels, M5 offsets + 12mm spacers, with non M5 e60 tires)




^before he retrofitted the shadowline trim and black exhaust tips

IMHO, OEM wheels always look the best, somehow they just suit the cars. Also, OEM wheels don't hurt resale value like after market wheels do. This is true of customizing any car, when you go to sell it you have to find someone with exactly the same taste as you to get any real $$$ for it. Which is why I will stick to as close to OEM as possible.

Ed - I see in your sig. that you're looking 18". Are you interested in OEM (19") or the rep (18")? 18" would look a bit different due to the size. Something to keep in mind.

18" will be replica for 166.
OEM is always better than replica.

I was worrying about wheel gap on 19"
But after looking at those pictures, I don't worry no more on 19"
