m5... if you want m6 rims then why dont you own 6series instead of 5?
if you are getting m6 wheels that means it will be probably Miro replica rims... I would rather have m5 wheels...
If you are getting replica 167 then why dont you look for something totally differnt?

I agree though that if the 167's are replica's you should go with 166 OEM's.

Its really a matter of choice, Ive been tossing both these rims around myself.
Are you getting a deal on OEM or Replica Wheels?
I can tell you that if youre not getting OEM dont buy the M5 replicas, as they look horrible compared to the OEM version, I dont think you'll be happy. If you are looking at M6 Reps, then I would have to say only get the Miro 346's, if you can find them. At least they look close enough to the real deal.

Its for the looks....it has nothing to do with 167's for 6 series and 166's for 5. It came that way from factory but it makes no sense what you're saying if you prefer each wheels you should go with each car. The car's itself are different. The wheels for the looks.
I agree though that if the 167's are replica's you should go with 166 OEM's.

If he is just going for looks, I would go for some good aftermarket wheels to be more stand out.
I dont know honestly i have a mix feeling also..
also m5 wheels will be easier to repair curb damages because it is painted silver so it will be cheaper for long term...
