Hello guys, today finally installed my new 166 m6 offset.. my 128 came off.. but I have the doubt hehe now I think my 128 look better. what do you guys think.. or maybe is because of the m6?

the before and after

No confusion from my perspective

the 166's are nice...real nice

question - 255 in front and 285 in back? or is that what the M6 offset is for?

The 166's look way better. Drop that baby and wait for the compliments.

M166s look great!

Coming from the 128s is tough, because in comparisson the M166s look smaller. I have the same mind games whenever I change from my winter set-up (128s) to the summer set-up (M166s). Just hang in there

The 128's give it a nice rounded bulky look but the 166 makes the car a bit more argessive
