My offset for the replicas is actually ET32 (a little bigger), which is why I have 20mm spacers right now. Just kidding on giving anyone those replicas.

You can. I have seen a XI with the 166s. I forgot who the member was. Either he didn't know or care that 166s aren't made to fit the XI.
I'll have to pick up this topic again in a few months.
Thanks

You mentioned above that Wheelsandcaps.com are replicas made in Italy. Does that apply to the ones they list as OEM, too? I have heard some say that there are claims of OEM wheels out there that really aren't.

Wheelandcaps.com only carries replicas for this model. They would not state otherwise. There are not many replica makers claiming to sell OEMs (when they are really replicas). The only people who are selling OEMs are usually dealers with side operations (bmwwhweels.com). I know Quad_M also sells them, and he would have to address how he can certify that they are not replicas (everyone here knows and likes Quad_M, and no one would ever assert that he sells replicas).
In many cases, the prices of replicas creep up on the prices of OEMs. Bmwwheels is $1440 for the OEMs. I have seen ads on ebay for $1000 for replicas (both have the same shipping).

Quick question?
I have a 2007 525I and I want to order the OEM #166. Everyone is talking about spacers and vibraiton. Will I need to make any mods for those rims in a 19" ? Can someone please let me know.

The only problem you may have with those wheels in Germany is with your warranty and/or your insurance.
