Hi All,
Having a surf in eBay (Aust), and found someone taking pre-orders on M5 166 style rims in 18 x 8 and 18 x 9. Has anybody heard anything about them?
Having 166s available in 18 inch appeals because I can use the existing runflats from the 124s that are on the car now.
Thanks!

Never heard of 18" 166s. I would check to see if they are replica instead of OEM. THe Ebay merchants often are not blatantly clear they are offering replica vs OEM rims.

Apparently these are not OEM. From the picture, it sure looks like a 166 style rim! (not 135 style). See attached picture. This is a current auction, so you can go to eBay have a look.
So question is: Has anyone have experience with these non-OEM rims (or similar)?
Thanks
