I know, I know.. not exactly original or unique.. but I'm sticking with the OEM look to start things off. I mean.. its only been 2 weeks that I've owned the car.

I've been staring at your photo gallery.. man I love how your car looks!! Your ride height is exactly what I want.. plus its great to know that I wont need to lower it with my current sport suspension if I slap on some 19s.

It seems I may be a little late on this thread but here are pics of the VB3s on my 545i
Oh and +1 for Trinity's excellent customer service!

Thanks for those pictures socale39. After the OEM 166's, the VB3's look like a good next option. If I do end up buying them from a vendor in the near future, Trinity will definitely have my business. Nerweezy has been excellent in following up with me and definitely has my respect for his professionalism!!
Rizbel:
The set I'm picking up will mos def be OEM 166's, though off an M5, so I will probably need spacers for the rears.

as a former owner of miros i will never buy replicas again. OEM or drop real money on rims is how i feel now.
From what I can gather though.. the VMRs do seem to be very popular.
Cant wait to see what you pick as your next set of shoes AWG.
