oem 166's sound the best for what your looking for.. you dont want spacers -so, no breytons
your worried about hub rings and weight with miro 935's,
you had the 167 reps and if you loved the look enough you would want the oem 167's hands down..
you are not going to be close to stock weight going from oem 17's to 19's. no way, the ride is going to be different. go with 166's its an oem wheel with the correct offset so you dont have spacers and make sure the wheels are either NEW or close to new with no bends or welds or anything and you will be fine. you can always paint them to change up the look down the road too.

19 inch Breytons dont look as good in they do in 20's. I dont get the fascination about the weight of the wheels. Do you really care that much about that? And if so, why? Are you trying to be at a specific 0-60 time or something. Whats driving this decision, weight or aesthetics? I have the Breyton 20's with spacers and the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires. I could give a dam about how much they weigh. They look good and the car is still fast.
The End!
The End!

weight should only matter if your tracking your car if you want your car to handle and drive at top perfomance work on suspension

well i care about the weight after i removed my m6 replica miros....it was almost like driving a new car. those wheels were so damn heavy, my already slow 530 was not fun to drive anymore with the added weight. trust me it was a huge difference.
obviously i know im not going to keep the same weight going from a 17 inch to a 19in. but i do not want to have the same experience i did when driving with heavy wheels.
