Xcellent choice mate. I've got the 135m and looking for either 172m or 184m, latter would be for winterwheels. Also got an offer on a set of 166's but can't trace the suitability to my car on realoem.com so probably staying away from them but definetely awesome looking wheels.
So afraid not much help on your particular query but wheels are on my mind and I couldn't help commenting on your tasty choice.

Miro for replicas is the best as far as I can tell.
I would get the 167's if your looking into the replica world. Make sure you get the right tire sizes on them considering the offsets
Good luck

I had bad luck with BMW replica rims, they looked BMW greatness, but the ride sucked!! I could NEVER get them balanced right on my e60!! I suggest stay with BMW OEM 166, or any BMW OEM rims, thats what I ended up doing, and very happy with the smooth as glass BMW OEM rim/wheel ride. For the best prices $$$ try Garry at BMW of Newport, or www.bmwwheels.com in AZ
Hope this helps you!!

Pete you can practically walk to my house, just buy my Miros and beat them up as your winter wheel,

Back last summer, SparrowTek had some Rep 166s for sale.

They sold out and were supposed to get some back in at some point.
