Hello, does anyone have a picture of a 5-Series with 18" Style #166 (M5) RIMS? It would be even better to see the RIMS on a 5-series without sport package (like my 530i), but any picture would do.
I have been struggling with the decision of 18" or 19" for a couple of weeks now. The 19" wheels look awesome, but there are a lot of complications with the 19" wheels (not worth discussing here) for me. I posted before and got some helpful comments, but no pictures. I saw a 5-wagon with the 18" 166s, but there is no apples to apples comparison there. I also saw a post where a person claimed that the wheels were 18" 166s, but others then chimed in to state that the wheels had to be 19" wheels.
I am trying to see gaps, overall appearance, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best,

Of course, I am asking only about BMW replicas which are made in 18" sizes.

Thanks for the picture. I think that it looks good. Not the same of course as the 19", but I am not sure I can get the 19" wheels for other reasons. I think that I found an 18" with 135s or are those the 166s?

BMW do some fantastic 19" rims, but if you are after 18s, IMHO you'll be pushed to find a better looking rim than this one. (The fact you're considering an M166, the cleaning aspect of it all presumably isn't an issue for you!)
