If I were to keep only one set which should I keep the 167's or BBS?
I doubt the 167 can be any lighter, actually did you ever weigh both and compare?
my 19" setup with tires is about 10 lbs lighter than the stock 138 per corner
I think the RSGT is one of the lightest in the market (~20-21 lb for the rim itself)
also my RGR doesn't need a spacer at all, and from your picture it seems to look good as it. i rather leave that alone...

I would choose the 167's, but I am biased towards the oem's. It comes down to personal preference like our actual shoes. We choose them by how they look, feel, and comfort/performance. So no matter what any of us say, it's going to have to come down to which you really prefer, not us, because you're the one driving it everyday...both are definitely nice wheels, not a bad place to be to have to choose between the 2 you have...GL

and a picture of my new M5 mirrors...can't wait to put them on 
. Looks like the back might need some spacers for the BBS...the 167's was ok. Thoughts?

No freedom's is 20"...mine's 19" I got mine some time ago, stayed in the garage because I had the 167's on. The mirrors I got from the group buy...which I manage to pick up from Seydi in Dusseldorf. I wanted to paint the underside separate piece of my mirror like the grey off my 167's. 
Now have to take the mirrors apart!
