hi guys, im currently in the market for theses wheels and wanted to see what the 20's look like? i know alot of you guys go with the 19's, is there a specific reason for that other than less weight and cheaper price?

thanks

Since there are no 167 OEM rims in 20", only 19"...many here won't use reps.

Most people go for M6 19's, because they are using OEM wheels. Replicas don't get love around here.

not true, ive been looking at alot of threads with people posting pics of their replica Miro m6 wheels and fellow members saying good things about them. ive also heard good things about Miro wheels in general. not everyone can afford oem but they still want to mod (like me) im sure if price was not an issue we'd all go with oem, but the price difference is pretty big, for me at least.

Of all the rep wheels out there, MIRO's are one of the few that can be relied upon for quality and reputation. It's probably the only company aside from VMR that I'd purchase reps from, so if that's your worry, it shouldn't be. And the Miro 167 reps are available in 20's.

One other item to consider, however. The hub size is not the same as your OEM rim. I believe they are 74.1 vs. the 72.56 of the E60....so you'd need hubcentric rings.
